Quick Eureka Compression Question
Posted: Wed Jul 15, 2015 12:03 pm
Nowhere else to sneak this question in!
The recommended Eureka vocal setting in the manual suggests a ratio setting of 6. Would that be for a sound that would require no further compression in a mix?
I definitely will not be doing my own final mixes.
Other places seem to recommend a much smaller setting, like 1.5 or, just to tame the occasional hot signal -- more in the lines of what I'm trying to accomplish.
I like the sound of the relatively high ratio setting during a performance ... but I'm a little worried I'm applying too much compression since I won't be doing the final mix and an engineer might want to compress further using tools he's familiar with.
So which ratio setting makes more sense in my situation, 1.5 or 6?
