Unless you are recording an Eileeen Farrel or Luciane Pavarotti the only thing a compressor is going to do is %$^& up an otherwise dynamic audio signal. The peaks and valleys are now going to be flattened and its going to sound as bad as a ghetto blaster in the depths of Harlem on a blustery summer day. I can't believe one would want such a thing unless of course you like that type of sound. Compressors are responsible for more sonic grunge than any other thing you could possibly run an audio signal through. The best! James
