This is what worries me, not the lack of compression. Why are you recording vocals with an Omni setting?
But back to the subject at hand, I agree with the poster who mentioned getting a quality 2 channel compressor as opposed to the 8 channel one if you really need to add a compressor to your tracking chain. There's no reason to compress 8 channels of drums on the way in - drums are pretty consistent in volume, once you set a level you shouldn't have to worry about clipping coming into the picture if you did your job right. Compressing them during mix is just a taste thing, depends on the genre and the sound you're going for.
