[QUOTE="Chuck Fry, post: 3635, member: 1331"] N00b here to SoundForums.net, and minimal experience actually running sound, but I've played in bar bands for years. I've also lurked for years and occasionally posted at PSW, so many of the names here are familiar. I just bought my first compressor, a used dbx 166XL. Our rock band has up to five vocals but I have only this two-channel unit. Can I get away with using it as a bus insert? I have zero experience with dialing in a compressor. What are some good settings to use as a starting point on a single voice? Our female lead has a lot of dynamic range - she can get pretty loud and operatic - but not much mic technique. How about settings on a vocal bus? Thanks for all suggestions, including "do a search" and "RTFM". [/QUOTE]
