I'm not familiar with SC1 but I know SC4 and it's

effective compressor.
Thank you for your tips, I'll try them out. SC1
doesn't have a
sidechain, so controling it with a gate isn't
possible, but I could
try SC4 instead. Actually I was trying to get bass
tones fatter with
the compressor, so that they don't really fade out.
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.
