I bought a couple of ALESIS 3630's because I needed the gates for drum separation, and I figured what the hey, @ $120.00 a pop, I'll eventually learn to use the compressors properly and maybe it'll turn into a good investment.
So now I find myself with an "overly dynamic" (to put it nicely) drummer, and I'd like to smooth out the performance some.
1) Do I compress the tracks as they go to tape or later?
I'm gating now, so I should compress now, right?
2) As I experement , I notice a "Woosh" sound on the
kick track when Im mucking around with the
compression. ?!?!?!?
So as it becomes more and more evident that I don't know what the hell I'm doing, any help would be greatly appreciated.
