[QUOTE="harrybrilljr, post: 3673, member: 103"] [url]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MSxsv2Q4S-c/SI-XxmqLqJI/AAAAAAAAAuQ/IPpV9gni0aY/s1600/COmp.gif[/url] I have not used this. Been reading a lot of widely varied posts on it, many negative. I have 2 scenarios. I use Beta 58A or Beta 87A UHF-R transmitters for Q&A mics. I can get them sounding pretty decent up close or a foot away, but not both. Typically folks will stand there 1.5ft away or so and I just ride the fader. Some people will eat the mic and of course I have to yank it. I have limiters on each channel to help control this, but the tonality changes drastically, as expected. I would like to use "commercial radio station compression" aka multiband comp to clean this up. Looking for any tips. It would not be too hard to look at the charts for frequency response to dial in the crossovers, but there is certainly more to it than that. The comp will be inserted. The other use would be on a LAV group for de-essing and such. The de-esser on the channel strip seems always to be set too high or too low, missing the annoying frequencies altogether. Also some folks have more CHEST sound compared to others. It would be nice to gain some consistency from human to human by squeezing some of that resonance. The channel strip EQ works well for correcting the chest boundary combing. There is a group inserted graphic for ringing out the mics. I find I use it less and less, but I am not ready to lose it. No EQ fixes these two issues without causing other problems with overall tonality. I prefer the mics to sound very natural. [/QUOTE]
