Agreed. Gentle compression can really help, even when tracking. The RNC
lets you do gentle compression very easily and very cheaply!

I've got an HHB Radius 3 tube compressor and it makes a huge
difference in acoustic guitar. Depending on how you set it, it doesn't
take the dynamics out (you can always smash it if you want to ;-) The
guitar tracks sound less harsh when I use a little compression. The
idea that any compression will completely destroy dynamics is unfounded.

I had seen some cautions before about Behringer, so if it is cooked, I

I think the priorities I will set will be some pro sound card first,
then a preamp.
I really don't care compression in acoustic music as I think the
dynamics are very important for the "mood" changes we want to deliver in
our tune sets.
For miking acoustic instruments, a great preamp
may be a sound
investment. You may want to consider spending more resources on this.
Add me to the list of people recommending a good mike preamp. For most
recording, I don't mind the preamps in my Behringer mixer, but I'd had
the opportunity to borrow a nice preamp to use with my mediocre Octava
mics, and was really very happy with the results.
On the other hand, I realized how much I dislike my Behringer T1953
tube preamp :-/
