Quick Setups
Vocal Settings
RATIO
A soft voice could be set to 2:1, whereas a loud voice might
require a ratio setting of 6:1.
THRESH
The higher the threshold setting, the more signal is required to
initiate compression. Ideally this should be set to reign in peak
levels, and allow signals of lower gain to pass uncompressed.
Threshold settings will depend on the nature and variety of the
signal source.
ATTACK
Short attack times usually work well for voice. However, too
strong a compression ratio, too low a threshold, and too fast an
attack may attenuate speech consonants, which provide im-
portant intelligibility cues to the audience, thus compromising
clarity.
Guitar Settings
RATIO
A high compression ratio (with gain makeup) will add sustain
to held notes and chords.
THRESH
Moving the threshold will change the audible thick/thinness of
the guitar tone, but generally you want to compress all the notes
played.
ATTACK
Be wary of too quick an attack, which may reduce the percus-
sive attack of the guitar notes.
In general, be wary of too much gain makeup, and too high a compres-
sion ratio, which may make a noisy guitar amplifier more objectionable.
Ratio settings might range from 6 to 19:1, threshold variable, slower
attack, soft knee, output gain boosted slightly to significantly depending
on amount of compression.
Bass Guitar Settings
RATIO
Set to 4:1
THRESH
Set to compress peaks only.
ATTACK
Quick attack, medium release, hard knee; (try various release
settings, depending on the speed of notes played).
GAIN
Output boosted slightly.

Use these settings as a place from which to start, then adjust to your own satisfaction.
Vocals
Short attack is better for vocals. Be careful not to
