Hey, so ive really been trying to improve my recordings. Ive heard EQ and Compression are HUGE when it comes to studio recording.

I really have a vague meaning of what compression is... Im using a firepod int cubecase LE so I'm using whatever compression it has.

Can someone break it down for me so i can really understand when and how to use it correctly. thanks.

even post a link to something i could read if it has already been posted. (i tried searching)
