I know that compression shrinks dynamic range, and I have experimented with it a little, but I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm mainly interested in compressing bass guitars. I'm looking for something that will make bass a bit more punchy and keep it in check just a bit. Can someone give me some insight on this and some good sample settings? Should attack time be fast or slow? How does ratio work? What is Threshold level? Does the gain just boost volume? By the way, I'm using the compression built into the Fostex VF-16 digital multitracker. Any replies would
be appreciated.
