This is beginner stuff I know, but.....I need help here.
I have a Tascam TSR-8 and an Alesis XT-20 with a 1604 Mackie VLZ Pro mixer. I have been doing various home recording for over 20 years, don't have a compressor, and don't really know what a compressor does. Do I need one? Does it compressthe signal so you can get more signal to noise on the tape? I have used one on my guitar for years for sustain....is this the same thing? Will the one in my Boss ME-50 work with my mixer? What is a good brand to buy for the TSR-8 and XT-20? I WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE any help! Thank You.............
