With the EQ before the compressor, the compressor's action will depend on what you do with the EQ. Darker, brighter, whatever, how you dial in the EQ will affect the way the compressor behaves. Try it and see for yourself. That whole "as a rule" thing is just silly and encourages engineering-by-rote without listening or examining. In a f'rinstance of this principle, let's say you've tracked a Martin Dread and it's boomy. No surprise there. If you just insert a compressor, the electrical energy of that boom might send the compressor into gain reduction in a premature and aggressive way that you don't especially care for. Since you're most likely wanting to get rid of that boom anyway, why not stick the EQ before the compressor? Dial down the boom and smooth out the compressor's behavior at the same time. A win-win. But "warmer-rounder"? The opposite, if anything. Hey Berklee, I'm available. :-) Last edited by Brent Hahn; 07-06-2019 at 10:03 AM. |

Easy to test for yourself. If it were me , I would start with the vocal mic choice first (Because arguably vocals are often the most case sensitive i.e the most "specific voice to specific mic", sensitive and see which one you like best on your voice. I am guessing one of your LDC condensers but try and see . Then retest for the guitar and go for the closest to the tone/sound you are wanting

Sounds like you are on you way Just know it can be frustrating at first but like most things it gets more familiar, better, and easier with practice
