Thanks,
Mr.Wet
PS- I must be totally deaf but I can't hear any difference when I fiddle around w/ Sonic Foundry's 4-band dynamics...I mean I can get compression but messing with the bands doesn't seem to do much to the overall sound.

with digital this aint possible - you cannot clip the signal, so leave lotsa headroom..... you can add punch to drums by setting a medium comp-ration to begin, a slow attack to allow the intitial transient to bust thru, then a fast decay to shut down the rest of the drum hit decay so it doesnt overload,,,, this add's alot of punch, then mess witth the ratio etc to taste.... if you ahve a choice like with an alesis 3060, don't use soft-knee or RMS for that... use peak if you can although it'll still work with the other types even soft-kneee to an extent... as with digital youve got to allow lotsa headroom i'd add comp' after recording to leave your options open, unless it's live drums played, in which case use compression when you record as normal as well as gates... in the FX-RACK section ther is some basic starter compression ratio's you can try for different types of sounds....
