Compression confusion. .
i'm using music studio 7 to do most of my bands recording and whatever. The program has a compressor, refered to as dynamics. It looks like a normal rack mounted piece of equipment. It has the usual controls; Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, and Gain. The trouble is there are no markings on around the nobs to say what level of ratio, or whatever. I may be trying to compress some vocals 5:1 (for example), but have to use guesswork when trying to do so.
I'm actually trying to compress the final mix but i am not sure what settings to apply. (Also i know some people dissaprove of compressing at that stage but, yes i'd like advice to try it out. At the moment i'm a bit lost on the compressor. . .)
