I posted last week about compressors, thanks to everyone that responded. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. I ended up buying a used Symetrix dual compressor (400 series I believe??). My next question is usage...
I was mainly looking into compression for drum recording. Here's where your opinions come into play...
Should I use the compressor on the overheads, which already sound damn good in my opinion, or should I use them on the kick and snare mics, both of which, without eq'ing, pick up a significant about of bleed from the rest of the kit...???
I know, given my description it would seem to be obvious as to how I should utilize my new gear, but I'm always open to suggestions.
Thanks again, everyone.
P.S. - Is anyone gonna be at the TapeOp conference this year??
