there are tons of comments here about the weakness of the 737 compressor, but even with the other channel strips you only really want some light compression on the way in. it's cool to set up the strip during mix as an aux processor if you can do it, but plugins are always the easiest. when it comes to managing dynamics i rely on gain riding first and compression second. that's why i like the pres that have variable instead of stepped gain switches. then again, since you're the talent i'm not sure if being next to a knob will be possible with your setup.
the quartet is made by pendulum. check it out!
