    Vocal Compressor (Great!)

    I really like Vocal Compressor (Great!) in Cool Edit but it's just a tad too loud/echoey. Can someone give me precise directions to take it down just a little. I'm having a hard time getting the 'in your face' sound I want and this seems to be the answer. Keep the explanation simple, please...
