Here's 13 pages of discussion on whether or not to do it. I don't think we need more.
Killjoy.......
I track with heavy compression. At least 40db gain reduction. Saves me time when mixing down.
Hi guys, I was just wondering what people think about using compression while tracking, Are their any kind of guidlines such as how much and what kind of instruments benefit from it...
Thanks
I didn't realize there was so many funny guys in these forums, They should re-name it to homecomedy.com, Dicks.

I blame my Irish ancestry.
Seriously though, that thread has about as much as anyone would want to know about our opinions on recording with compression.
The same small handful of people tirelessly toil in the newbies and other forums answering the same questions over and over and over again for generation after generation of newbies and homerecorders. Some, who are actually recording professionals, have been doing it for years, for the benefit of all who fly past.
So, a bit of comedic relief from the tedium of answering yet another person asking about compression whilst tracking (must be a couple a week) is par for the course - I'd watch who you're calling a dick. You might need their help some day.
And you should read the linked thread.
I just brick wall it on the way in, saves time with all that screwing around with those fancy plugins on the 2 bus.

Due to the lighthearted comedic nature of this thread, I couldn't resist.

As much as you need ¬> experiment.such as how much
Every instrument can. And they can all be wrecked by poor use too.and what kind of instruments benefit from it...
Don't mention it.Thanks
