Lol, but not far off the truth.
TBH, ASOT is probably all done offline in ableton or logic, then processed with multiband compression and limited, and then finally sent as a wav for broadcast. The stations will then in turn add their own effect train:
Usually start with auto gain control,then a traditional broadcast compressor like the old Orban 424's (for most FM applications), then a mulitband compressor, and then a limiter to catch any random peaks and finally they may even overdrive (clip it a little) to drive it louder.
Oh and they may also have other processors somewhere in the chain like phase correctors and stereo enhancers.
And bear in mind the mics and or DJ mixer might be runb through a compressor before it even gets recorded.
You still sure you want your mix to sound like ASOT?
