Re: Compressor Question




Well I went out today and got a DBX 266. Watching a Dave Rat video on mixing RHCP is where I got the idea about compressing the effects. I tried stereo linking and didn't like the results. I got a gig to do Sunday, kind of an all day thing 5 sets, 3 are actual bands, 1st will be singer/songwriter thing, and last will be a jam session. So I will get to test it out pretty well and get a handle on it. I am trying to avoid channel insert at all costs at this time. I think compressing the sub group is going to work out just fine. It really is just needed for a few songs where the 2 more dynamic singers peak a little. Especially on Feeling Alright where my stepson imitates Joe Cocker's screams at the end, and my wife gets pretty dynamic on Gold Dust Woman. Almost all other songs all 4 singers maintain a pretty even volume level.
