Re: Old guy needs help with compressors

There you guys go again,,,,Gate????

This is killin' me.  Just kidding, (I know what it is, or should be anyway,) 

Seriously, The more I read on this stuff, the more confused I am. Do you (or anybody else, for that matter) actually use a compressor?  Maybe is it somthing I can live without?,,, Hey,  I have been living without for way over 40 years. I may be making a lot more out of this then I should. 

Thanks for the tip, though. I'm going to try the Alesis site and try and see if I can confuse myself more then I am already. I am WAY out of my league on this one.

Later Alligator, 
Smokey
