Members gr8fuldodd Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 for recording - is it preferred to run a compressor before your amp or while it's mixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seifukusha Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 id say both, but for pre, depends on how you want guitars to sound. btw i ran a comp after a dirt pedal for one guitar tack (only one) and got the sounds on thishttp://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=4303169&q=hi you can hear the suck of the comp as the dirt kicks on. thats only one guitar, btw. open tunings.. post, i always like a bit of comp, just cause my signals fluxuate too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ohtheant Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 I'd say it really depends on your style. If you're in a funk band, and want a real tight clean sound, you'd want to use compression pre. Or maybe you need more sustain for that big metal solo, then you'd use compression pre... So, if you're using compression as an 'effect' to get a certain sound out of your amp, then by all means use it pre-recording. Otherwise, you're better off leaving compression to post.
