Phil replied: O I don't know. I used to think that way too. If you want to
get the max level on a track up to between minus 3 and minus 0.1DB then,
using light compression in order to catch those little peaks in order to
stop going over minus 0.1DB, works really well. Also, some hardware
compressors sound really nice. For example, I love the sound of the
Focusrite ones that I have on my pree-amps. Finally when recording electric
guitar using my Tonelab SE, I always use the compressor, as I like that kind
of sound. Think it's quite a British technique to print with compression.
Guess this applies to Scottish people such as myself too then, smile.
Remember Tony Visconti talking about this and saying that he likes that
technique too. He also said that American musicians don't normally do that.
Tony was talking about when they recorded young Americans with David Bowie
and that some of the musicians, weren't used to working like that at all.
Mind you, always turn off the hardware reverb on the Tonelab SE and use
software instead. That way, I can avoid having to cut off any reverb tales
if I need to do a punch in because I have made a mistake .
