I've been trying to figure out for years how to use compression, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. If I understand (at least partially) the theory of compression, it should allow me to adjust the dynamics of a signal so that I can raise the volume over all without it causing distortion. My VF-160 has a built in compressor, but no matter what I do with it, it doesn't seem to affect the signal at all. A number of years ago I bought the imfamous Alesis 3630 compressor and basically had the same experience with it. Can somone please direct me to a book on "Compression for complete idiots." I'm not an idiot, but for some reason, I don't get it when it comes to using compression.
