Suggestions
Stereo Mix
Stereo Limiter. Just as the name implies, this is a hard limiter, or "brick wall," setting—ideal for
controlling the level to a two-track mixdown deck or stereo output.
Threshold
5.5 dB
Contour. This setting fattens up the main mix.
Threshold
-13.4 dB
Effects
Squeeze. This is dynamic compression for solo work, especially electric guitar. It gives you that
glassy "Tele/Strat" sound. It is a true classic.
Threshold
-4.6 dB
Pump. This is a setting for making the compressor "pump" in a desirable way. This effect is good
for snare drums to increase the length of the transient by bringing the signal up after the initial
spike. It is very contemporary.
