compex

Do you use limit on or just comp? What attack time out of 25,2.5,0.25 ms do you think is a sweet spot and how much GR is going on usually?

Thanks!

I have the peak limit set to 'off'. I have the comp attack time set to 25. I don't have a set threshold level. I've used light to heavy compression. I do like to vary the release time to either get that 'pumping' sound or, with a slow release, it tends to 'tighten' the sound.
