do any of you guys use Waves compressors straight to disk while recording vocals. I'm wondering how it sounds? would an outboard compressor sound a lot better? if so... how much am I looking at for a good one?

which Waves compressor do you use?

is there other plugin compressors you like better than Waves?

Thanks,
Mark

um...what's a vst?

I've been recording with cool edit pro, and encountering a slight problem.

...I can't get Wavelab to burn a CD-extra...

I was just doing my everyday browse through the web and nearly fell asleep until I found this pretty nice dissertation by two graduates at Detmold University over here in Germany which actually confirmed what I have always been thinking or at least been very suspicious about the industry's hype!

My laptop started playing up earlier today, i put a floppy in the drive and when i tried to access it the drive made a really bad vibrating noise, i would compare the sound to a small radio controlled plane!
I took the disk out and it stopped...

Does anyone use a hot plate on their guitar setup? My guitar player has a Gibson LesPaul and a Marshall head (not sure of the Wattage) he also uses a 4 X 12 cabinet.
He is having problems getting his sound to be "driven" enough and not end up being too loud.
