Greg: everyone's saying you shouldn't use the sends for compression so your
idea with driving up the input is right.  John Fioravanti, Jr.,

Ah I think I see, but then the track you want compressed needs to have the
out put set to the compressed bus? Not have the aux send of that bus just
inabled on that track and use the aux send volume for how much compression
you hear? That's what I have done, used a compresser vbus say on aux 2
enabled the send and turned the send up abit. Sounded like I was getting
more compression. But now I'm thinking I should send tracks to one bus with
the compresser on it, and work with input gain to drive the compresser.
Could I be right with this idea?

  You can certainly put compression on busses.  I often will have 8
background vocal tracks assigned to a bus and just add some compression to
the whole thing.

    Just to make sure I understand. You only put compression on individual
tracks? Never use the busses? I thought  I was getting somewhere when I had
a separate bus for compression and would use that on certain tracks. I was
probably just turning the volume up and down. But when I've tried it on
single tracks, I can't seem to find anyway in the track inspecter to control
the compresser. It's been awhile, but it seems like my only options were the
presets. I'm using sonar four though.
