Re: Compression



Just this saturday I had a gig with some room to experiment.  I was working with a lead vocalist with a "tricky voice".  Rummaging around the various knobs on the multiband compressor in the Yamaha desk I was using, I discovered it had a variable "look ahead" time.  I strapped the compressor across the vocal bus, and set the look-ahead to 3ms.  I also delayed every other bus "running parallell" by 3ms.  Could not perceive any other changes than the vocals sounding better :)   In the grand scheme of things, "moving" the PA by 1 meter is nothing, anyway!
