Hey- Trying to zero in on exactly what compression settings I want for my acoustic guitar and vocals. I realize the wide range of possible compression settings according to one's taste-I'd appreciate opinions. Specifically, I'm in a small, fairly dead room with a good Martin and two MXL 603s mics- and the AT3035 for vocals. Mostly finger picking, folk/ballad type stuff. Thanx

I don't really know, but I would suggest light compression settings to keep the performance quite dynamic. 3:1 compression on the vocals w. 10 ms attack, 300 ms release, -3 dB gain reduction? For the guitar maybe like 2:1 w. 30 ms attack, 150 ms release, -3dB gain reduction.

Oh well, ring up my $.02
