Default Re: Recording with a Compressor Plug-In applied

Whitty,

There are some amazing software compressors to choose from---but as has been said, this is AFTER the fact. These plugins are great for mixing but they do little to nothing for tracking. All of the conversion is done upon input which is where you want your HARDWARE compressor---to capture the track with compression, prevent clipping, and control the sound upon input. There's no benefit to putting this on a track while recording, just record the track and place it after the fact when mixing IMHO.
