[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 89212, member: 30"] Re: Compression A compressor is like any tool-overdo it and it it makes things worse. Some people like it simply because it is "another toy" to play with. And they like to see lots of lights flash. It makes them feel as if they are "doing something"-YEAH-making it sound WORSE! I personally like a sound that has a lot of dynamics-which means very little compression. HOWEVER-(especially on digital consoles) I use it on every channel. NOW HOW MUCH is the real question. I typically set it so it start to kick in right around the loudest sound from the musicians. That way it can act as a "safety valve" in case something gets a bit out of control. Sometimes I "tighten up" on it to help smooth out poor musical mic or playing technique-ie people who can't keep a consistent level. [/QUOTE]
