This is good to know. I saw an earlier post where someone is looking for straight answers on what is fast and what is slow when it comes to attack and release. I arrived at my settings on my own, with a really low threshold at first, finding that the attack lets the punch through starting at 10 ms, and then the release is smoother slower. Usually, after I get the timing I raise the threshold which, to my ear sounds best at around -1/2 dB to -1 1/2 dB.
With this current project, I presume I could be compressing too much, as well, because with those vocals cranked up, it was hitting -2dB on occasion.
Maybe my vocals were a little loud, too.
I appreciate the help, folks! Time to go back to mixing!
