Hi everybody, I am glad to be hear, I started record my songs yesterday! but I have been reading and trying for months, I have red a lot about compressor and I know that I need it for my classical guitar rumba like rhythm, I feel the whole track sounds more consistent, I record at peak level of -6 DB, as I have only two tracks guitar and vocal, I record them separately, my question is if I choose the threshold of 12 and ratio of 3/1 does that mean that that the track should reach the nine DB level to be compressed or any amount that exceed the 12 DB threshold will be compressed by one to third?
want to know is it right what I do, my track reaches -6 db once and -9 db for times, is it good setting the choose 12 DB as a threshold?
If I have three or for tracks which if mixed them, they will clip, does reducing their volumes before mixing them work? or should I record everything again with lower levels?
How do I know If I need to compress my vocal and solo guitar, I am going to compress the rhythm as I mentioned and then after mixing compress the whole track by a little amount does that sound reasonable?
Thank you very much, I know a lot of question, but I hope you will help me?
