Got a few Compression and Eq Questions

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone on here has any recommendations on EQ settings on the AMEK 9098 and Gain and Threshold Settings on the LA-2A and either use compress or limit. Im not familiar with these units and there capablitys, I came from a home recording enviornment and was asked to engineer a friends album in a corporate studio.

Newbie pro tools le pre fader metering

I'm new to using pro tools. I have experience recording into an ADAT recorder using an analog board. I know the difference between pre and post fader modes.
When recording or doing a final mix in pro tools, should the pre fader metering be turned on or off? I am not using any EQ when recording the tracks.

Thanks,
MWP

SSL plugins-wow!

Just downloaded the demo ssl plugin pak. Never been on the real deal so I can't compare but it's like the staples easy button- just turn it on! Using these plugs I find I don't need other ones that I've always used. The master bus comp just works. I will say the download process is the biggest pain in the ass ever, but when you get there-wow! :D

Mackie Onyx 400f low levels

Ok, I just picked this guy up from L&M on the weekend and I haven't had much time to play around with it yet (2 hours) but I've noticed something that kind of bugs me. I plugged in an SM57 to record acoustic guitar with, just as a quick little test. I also plugged in a direct line from my guitars active pickup. Both lines were into pre-amp channels 1 and 2 on the 400f respectively.

Yamaha 01V ?

Hello everyone (Rookie To .recording.org) But loving all the info.

OK I hope I can explain what I’m looking for and I would be grateful for any information, I already read some good stuff. But I was lucky to have a friend in the recording field. Well he is starting out. He has a nice setup too. To me he does but he just got a Yamaha 01V mixer, but we need AT card.
