How to improve my sound using compressor limiter expander

Hello all, I am a baritone bass vocalist and would like to improve my sound. I am using a standard handheld wired dynamic mic, and I'd like to incorporate my Peavey CEL-2 (Compressor Expander Limiter) into the chain. My projection is often over powering (causing distortion) and my soft parts are sometimes hardly audible.

Mic preamp compressor limiter? Singing Drummer w/wireless HS

Hi everyone,

We have a female singing into a Sennheiser wireless headset. The dynamic range is just too much to be on a stationary mic attached to her head.

This is a rock band and has a pretty loud sound. She has some soul on some songs and some songs she sings more backup. Very dynamic range.

I've distortion on a few songs using a limiter

I am mastering my own album and after 2 test runs I have discovered distortion on a few songs, even though it never goes about -0.1db. I think this is because I may have gone a little bit over the top with the limiter in an attempt to get things sounding loud. I didn't realise that when the file is squared off in places (extreme limiting) it is distorted!

UAD LA-2A and 1176LN, Which Native Plugin comes Closest.

Anyone know of any Native plugin that comes close to UAD's LA-2A and the 1176LN emulation.

I will be getting a UAD pack in about a month. But untill then I need a plugin that has the Lushness and Creamyness of the UAD's LA-2A .
