Reguardless you can put a distinct gate in front of the compressor. But that's more of a drum thing. Basically you're controling audio energy. If you turn up the volume, the energy becomes chaotic. The setting and principles should help out. I just looked and there's meters for some of the SC compressors. They're definitely helpful when learning to hear how a particular compressor behaves. They're all different. Incidentally, I use compression on almost everything albeit it's often very little and sometimes it's just for an added gain stage. ron > ciao > -- > Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
