I know the controls of the linnier compressor, but I'm not sure still how to produce something satisfactory. Every time I use it and export my audio file they are much too soft. Oh there is still so much to learn and hardly not enough time to learn it all. May the peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!

Learn what all the controls do in the plug-ins you do have. If you had every plug-in imaginable on hand, but didn't know what you were doing, it really wouldn't matter. Right? It probably varies from person to person, but in my case, EQ changes are obvious to my ear, and I can pinpoint the frequency involved fairly fast. That part came easy. But it took me ages to learn to hear compression, especially learning to notice different attack and release characteristics. That part I found hard. But, someone else might find that easy to hear, and find EQ changes harder. Chris PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
