Recording with/without Compression and Eq Digi 002

[rcourell]

Hi

I was wondering which way do you prefer to record. Im using the Digi 002 and im wondering if i should record vocals and guitar etc with or without commpression and eq. Before when i used to use a Tascam DA88 and a Soundcraft mixing desk, I used to add compression whilst signal was going on to track and a little eq.. however its a little more akward when using the Digi 002 as I have to buss signals etc and also im conncerned about processing on the cpu... I would be interested in which way you prefer to record and if you add compression whilst signal is going to track would or could you give me any nice compression ratios etc

Many many thanks

most of the time I get good mic placement, good levels into my pres, and record straight in

if you wanted to give the artist more eq on the headphone mix how do you achieve it - whilst recording them on the digi 002 mixer setup. thanks

I run the phones through a headphone amp that has EQ

If all you wanted was to add eq, you can insert an EQ plug-in on the audio track you're recording on and it won't record the EQ. You'd have to set up a bus to actually record compression, eq, etc.
