Jan 02, 2009 09:09 pm dunno if its silly question or not but its currently around 40 deg. C. here atm moment.
interfaces etc should be all good though in this heat surely? just had to ask, never know.

I havent had any hassels up till now with me new pre/ comp.
im using a different guitar amp, but im getting a kinda sway effect with my guitar recordings. actually it sounds really S##thouse.
it sounds quite good fom the amp so im thinking my compressor settings are askew.
could someone give me their/s input on this?
all im wanting from the compressor is to just tame the swing a bit on mutes so i have it set roughly as follows.
compression is +4
GR is 3 maybe 4dB.
attack is quite fast im not exactly sure but its quick but im thinking not too quick.( but hey thats why im asking bout it)
and the release is also quick.
slope is on 2:1. which i gather is ratio on this unit..
im still new to this unit and really to compression, as far as getting it right without doubt is concerend.
ive just been basicly getting the GR under control and making sure the output level on the pre is ok and on the pre input gain.
would really appreciate some feedback.
cheers.

Jan 02, 2009 09:23 pm What is the threshold set at? The threshold is the key when a comp kicks in. I normally set it to -10. So, when the signal reaches -10 dB, the comp starts it's process.
Jan 02, 2009 09:28 pm 104 deg F for those without a converter.
Heat could play a bit of havok on gear but probly not like that. It might effect the mic or the speakers more.
Your settings look pretty tame for simply limiting. Have you tried backing down the comp amount yet at all?
Exactly what pre/comp are you using. I didn't see on in yer profile?
Jan 02, 2009 09:45 pm Nice Rob, I hadn't even given that a thought.
Jan 02, 2009 10:14 pm ok threshold is set at 2:1. and +4.
im using a Joe Meek pre wid comp built it.
so i did a recording with the comp off and that's definalty what's doing it.
would you bother with the comp going to computer or really just leave it for tape compression?
thats next on the adgenda though, so getting it sussed would be cool.
when you say back of the comp Noize you mean the ratio?
cheers for the speedy reply guys eh.
apart from that i cant beleive how good its sounding so far even with a pooy pickups. so getting this bit sussed would be sweet.
Jan 02, 2009 11:01 pm Ya, I guess for guitar I honestly rarely ever use compression going in. I find I get better results compressing if needed afterwords.
On the backing off I mean the threshold as Rob stated.
Jan 02, 2009 11:06 pm ok, i think my gear is playing up too.
on the other topic of having to sign in all the time, i actually just got kicked off while i was here, and had to sign on again.
weird.
Jan 02, 2009 11:13 pm I had the same problem when I was using IE. I switched to Firefox and all of that went away.
Jan 02, 2009 11:16 pm Ya, IE has had a couple of issues with the last 2 security updates. I only use it on the main studio PC and on this one when I need to check something with it. Otherwise I don't use it at all for my main surfing app.
