I have never really gotten BETTER results using a compression plug, like WavesAPI 2500, or RComp, etc...than I do simply using L1+ ultramaximizer or the L2 Ultramaximizer...

I'm trying to track down any research that's been done into the natural compression properties of air at different frequencies. Anyone got any links?

curious about some tips for using compression on drums

Hi people

I'm a little confused by all the different views in which people have regarding compression.

Hi all..
can someone briefly explain the difference between peak and rms compression and its applications

thank you

Hello, I play around with home recording, and I recently discovered multiband compression, and I'm wondering how many of you pros use multiband compression on the final mix? I use Audition 3.0, and the multiband compressor has four assignable bands.

Hi, all, I'm new here, and popping in to ask for some professional advice and may stick around if this forum hasn't been engulfed by the 16-year-old army that plagues so many forums :P . I record speed punk music, think: RKL, DRI, old NOFX, old Suicidal Tendencies, old Guttermouth, etc...

I saw this question asked in the sticky thread, but I believe it got overlooked...

Hello All:

I've noticed that commercial productions have a much more squashed low-end dynamic range than my own recordings.

Is it unwise to use a compression pedal to get a particular electic guitar sound when recording? Would this limit what I can do with the guitar during mixing?
