I think modern equipment has a much better dynamic range than what I was using then. Compression has side effects - that's why it is used in studios to make percussion sound punchier. It can also be very useful for making speech more intelligible. I do not think it should be used when recording acoustic music. Regards -- Don Cox [log in to unmask]
