Quick Setups
Vocal Settings
ratio A soft voice could be set to 2:1, whereas a loud voice might require
a ratio setting of 6:1.
thresh The higher the threshold setting, the more signal is required to
initiate compression. Ideally this should be set to reign in peak
levels, and allow signals of lower gain to pass uncompressed.
Threshold settings will depend on the nature and variety of the
signal source.
attack Short attack times usually work well for voice. However, too strong
a compression ratio, too low a threshold, and too fast an attack
may attenuate speech consonants, which provide important intel-
ligibility cues to the audience, thus compromising clarity.
Guitar Settings
ratio A high compression ratio (with gain makeup) will add sustain to
held notes and chords.
thresh Moving the threshold will change the audible thick/thinness of
the guitar tone, but generally you want to compress all the notes
played.
attack Be wary of too quick an attack, which may reduce the percussive
attack of the guitar notes.
In general, be wary of too much gain makeup, and too high a compression
ratio, which may make a noisy guitar amplifier more objectionable. Ratio
settings might range from 6 to 19:1, threshold variable, slower attack, soft
knee, output gain boosted slightly to significantly depending on amount
of compression.
Bass Guitar Settings
ratio Set to 4:1
thresh Set to compress peaks only.
attack Quick attack, medium release, hard knee; (try various release
settings, depending on the speed of notes played).
gain Output boosted slightly.
