Re: CompressionIf I have got very little time for sound check or no time at all, which is often the case, I find that things go much smoother if I take the lazy approach and start out with guesstimated compressor/limiter settings for everything. That way I can start out with a resemblance of balance in the mix even when the source loudness/gains are all over the place. Yes, the opening number might be a bit dull, but it means one can quickly start focusing on the money-channel(s) and open up a bit as each channel gets under control.
