Re: Re: Old guy needs help with compressors

Thanx, 

I'm going to look it up.

It's neat to have one og these groups where everybody actually tries to help each other instead of just goofing on everybody.

God Bless

>I just read a few of these replies. I hope I'm not being redundant. But I us a Punch Factory compressor from Apex. It's very simple (2 knobs, one volume and one for compression) doesn't make my USA Lakland sound like a 2 bit Atari game, and is relatively cheap. I'm not familiar with the behringer model you originally spoke of.

We do R&B, Funk, a little current pop and some hammed-up quartet arrangements of some big band standards. The compressor isn't on all the time.
