[QUOTE="Marsellus Fariss, post: 48394, member: 1107"] Re: Compressor novice... need starting point for rock vocals Thats how things go in club band land right? Keep compression out of the wedges. Very inportant. Causes problems with vocalists endurance and feedback. Insert them at the groups if you need to. If your not sure if your monitor sends are pre or post insert points just insert one at the channel and zero the output knob of the comp. if signal disappears then your sends are post. I keep 6 RNC's strapped across the groups of my desk in my place so I can route to them and keep it out of the wedges. (no monitor desk right now) I comp vocals 90 percent of the time. 4:1 ratio, 60ms attack, 300ms release. If the vocalists is really aggressive I shorten the attack time and comp 6:1 or 8:1. I like to see 4-6 DB of gain reduction on strong notes. Some comps are very audible when doing this. The RNC'S is not. That's why I have 6.
