I use one live (solo fingerstyle) but the reason for its use is kinda complicated. I use a true stereo system, panned about 20% L and 20% right. The left source is a blend of a SBT and mag and the right source is a microphone (internal or external, depending on venue). These sources are fairly different, hence I only pan a bit. I use a two channel compressor and limiter, in dual mono mode to assist with equalizing the dynamics of the two stereo channels. I find that I can get an overall higher volume before feedback with its use. It also helps keep the stereo image from wandering left to right due to the different level of response one source might yield (when compared to the other source). I can also hit the strings hard on occassion without having the volume/dynamics spike as much (good for the audience). Plus, the unit I use has a gate, which is helpful in cutting off output between songs.
In the studio things are different, and I don't use a compressor for solo fingerstyle for tracking. However, I might use a multiband compressor, very lightly, to tame low mids, instead of using an eq, if it is called for. |
