I was confused about the SC series anyway. My
familiarity is with what's in JAMin.

Reguardless you can put a distinct gate in front of
the compressor. But that's more of a drum thing.

Basically you're controling audio energy. If you turn
up the volume, the energy becomes chaotic. The setting
and principles should help out. I just looked and
there's meters for some of the SC compressors. They're
definitely helpful when learning to hear how a
particular compressor behaves. They're all different.

Incidentally, I use compression on almost everything
albeit it's often very little and sometimes it's just
for an added gain stage.
