I just bought an Alesis Nanocompressor to replace my crappy Presonus Bluemax 'Smart' (but noisey as heck)compressor. Anyway, I have never used compression during the mix-down and I have no clue on what settings to use. Can anyone give me some pointers?
I'm mixing rock/alt stuff (voc, bass, drum machine, heavey and accoustic guitars)down to a wav file from a Fostex FD-8 mult-tracker. I'd like to put the compressor in the loop but I don't know what settings are best for the Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release settings. I know some general settings for individual instruments, but no guidance as far as the mix-down.
Can anyone help?
