Most of the band (4 vocals) are not very dynamic in their singing, but my wife and stepson are pretty dynamic especially my stepson. I don&#039;t want to compress their individual channels through the inserts for monitor reasons of course. So I plan on getting a 2 channel compressor and compressing the whole vocal group through the sub group, then returning it on another unused channel. Now my question is would you guys suggest using the other half of the new compressor to also compress the effects return? And if I do should I use the stereo link? Kind of defeats using a compressor on vocals if the effects are coming through not compressed so he will still peak stuff, though the effects channel return fader isnt even at unity.Thanks</blockquote>
