i keep reading about compression settings (this month it's mainly low ratio (1.2) with 30-40db threshold for a whole mix) and was wondering why they always quote threshold and not gain reduction. i guess the gain reduction depends on your material.
the resulting sound is going to depend on your input level surely. so when they mention 30-40db threshold is that assuming your peaks are coming in at 0db? or what?

where did they have the attack and release? slow ?
and what type of comp, elop, fet, or the mastering vari-mu's. The type has a lot to do whith where you can go and how deep wihtout pumping and artifacts. The waves c4 is pretty damn nice on stereo material. I just got it. It's like four RCL's without minus the limiter.
