But higher ratios aren't always for limiting, either. I commonly use 8:1 on the 1176 for a kick drum. With a slow attack and about 6 dB of gain reduction, it really does wonderful things to a kick's waveform. Instead of phoooo, phoooo, phoooo, phoooo, you get POO, POO, POO, POO!
Hehe, I said poo poo.

a.d.d.
Don't believe too much but your ears. First. MDs do NOT have good dynamics. That ATRAC compression throws away parts of the sound that you supposedly don't hear, but let me tell you; those thrown away parts make a BIG difference. Go straight to your HD. I'm a hardware fiend myself when it comes to the instrumentation, and original recording, when I can be, but I don't have the budget or the studio at the moment to be 100% and get the sound quality I can get by using both. For live, it's ALL hardware, but recorded...well you gotta go with what works and you can afford to get the highest quality sound that pleases your ears. Personally, I'd skip that 3630 altogether, record uncompressed and do your compression/limiting/normalization/volume maximization in the computer. I'm partial to Ozone myself, but that things kinda complex. You might want to start off with something a little easier to use like Wavehammer, and then see from there. The thing is that in a comp ALWAYS save a completely untouched, uncompressed, un eq'ed, unfucked with raw recording. Make copies and mess with those, but NEVER EVER EV ER mess with your raw master, cuz that's what may end up in a big bucks studio and be redone correctly, and if you're already messed it up doing a bed edit and saing it, then you're gonna be trying to pollish a turd. $.02

Am I down to be a producer? I've done it before and am doing it for some others now, from time to time. My time is precious so you better have some kind of financial arrangement in mind. I don't mind helping you with tips, but if you want the ears, the tools and the time, be ready to to pay me.
