I'm looking to even out my clean arpeggios as well as add a bit more sustain in clean parts in general. I've been playing around with the Studio Comp with near stock settings (brought down threshold and release a bit) and while it seems to be doing the trick (placebo?) the drastic difference in volume when the effect is toggled makes it hard to compare so I kinda feel like I'm mostly running blind.
Is there a certain gain reduction range I should shoot for? Same applies for other settings but I figure I should probably aim for a low ratio and soft knee to not sound too exaggerated. I'm not looking for exact settings, I'm just curious about how you guys all use compression so I can know if I'm on the right track so I don't spend the next month playing with compressor settings for hours straight.
Thanks in advance.
