once you understand the controls of the compressor and get the "proper" settings for your stuff.





The compressor/limiter (common combination rack-unit) might look like a simple piece of equipment, but it actually takes a bit of understanding and training to use in the proper way. (as you very well know)
It certainly can be a good solution for the problem of the TS.

The point I was making is that when you are working with a sound engineer, you must trust that person to do his/her stinking best to provide the best possible sound. It seems that a lot of musicians don't trust the SE's with their FOH-sound and think they have to tweek the volume of their instruments themselves. Standing on stage they seem to have the idea that they themselves have a better understanding of what the audience is hearing. Which is kind of weird, considering the fact that the SE is in the audience listening to the sound the audience is hearing and adjusting the levels accordingly...
