I have a mono compressor which I like to use in my signal chain while tracking acoustic guitar but as time goes by I find myself recording guitar using a spaced pair of SDC's and now I am looking for the ability to compress both signals together before my signals hit my DAW.
Up until now, when recording using 2 microphones on one source, In my DAW, I have always first combined the two tracks into one stereo group track and end up compressing that one while mixing but to be able to do this while tracking is confusing for me still. How can this be achieved? Will I need a stereo compressor for this task or will two mono compressors be ok? Does the answer depend on how I pan the two signals?
