So, I've read all about compressors, everything I could find. Some of the links I've read I found on this site.

I'm not ashamed to say that there is little that I truly understand about them. And I've never gotten to use a hw unit.

Threshold I get, (I'm trying to recall all the settings) "make up" I get.

Hi everyone I was just wondering if anyone could explain to me the side chain feature on the stock compression plugin in pro tools le 8. Dyn 3.0 is where my settings have been saving in. Im interested in learning how to sidechain kick drum and bass to make the kick stand out more, and any other uses you may have found useful with it.

thanks

I'm thinking of buying one of these 7720's for my mix bus but it only has XLR's in/out.
my zed r16 has 1/4 TRS inserts.

Is anyone familiar with the TC Electronic Triple C Stereo Compressor w/ SPL Transient Designer? It's circa 2000, but supposed to be a very capable piece of equipment...any help greatly appreciated.

i have a stagg-pgt70 microphone and i've been recording w/ the microphone boost option on in the advanced volume mixer but the sound doesn't sink into instrumental behind it. what is the problem? it doens't sound like 1 sound, like a song but more like an instrumental w/ a voice over.

I just bought a dbx 266XL compressor/gate to use when recording kick, snare, and vocals. Can someone explain the basics of the controls and what they each do? Does anyone have any "presets" that I should try and then tweak from there? Thanks.

IF I want to add compression with an outboard compressor post tracking, do I *HAVE* to run the line out of digi002 to the compressor and back into a new track in Protools?

OR is there a way to insert the compressor into the signal chain of the pro tools track and bypass(or not) at will similar to plugins?

Thanks.

I"m getting ready to buy a compressor and what I want to know is which order would you go, comp, pre-amp, recorder or pre-amp, comp, recorder?
Thanks,
Brock.

Hello... Just want some thoughts here... I have a Panasonic Da-7(pretty clean and transparenent pre's not much color at all.) into Mackie MDR/DP3.0 Setup. RNC compressors and some decent mics SM7's .57's, 4050 etc etc. Looking to put together one good channel of pre and compressor this year.
