Should I use or not?
Unique, but great compressor
Are all compressors the same?
During rehearsals is the absolute best time to make the big changes. Talk back and forth with the band until you have everything you need to achieve a great mix.
Once you have everything you need from vocals and musicians, turn up the gain on each channel until you have -18dB to -12dB at the loudest part of the song.
Gain is the most important tool to achieve a great mix.
Whenever you power up your console, check the gain on each channel as the band is playing. -18dB during the loudest part of the song guarantees a great start.
Take the time to learn a channel and the channel strip completely. Once you've mastered one channel, you'll be able to mix every channel. They're all the same. If you get stumped, call/text me.
