[QUOTE="Evan Kirkendall, post: 48041, member: 5"] Re: Compressor novice... need starting point for rock vocals I've never been a fan of the 2 comp thing. I tried it for a while, but found I could get better results from one comp. I want my vocal comp to react quick, and get out of the way quick. Anything that lingers around for more than a few ms bothers me. For me personally, I do a 6:1 ratio, 0ms attack, 81-120ms release, and a soft knee. I'll average 8-15dB of comp on my vocal. It works very well for me, and gives me a very consistent vocal sound. But, that's getting a lot more complicated than what I'm sure Chuck is trying to do. :) Drifting more off topic, here's a board recording I recently did: [url]http://www.harfordsound.com/Do%20you%20want%20me%20deadd.mp3[/url] You can't hear the vocal comp working, but you can hear the consistency it creates.
