I'm sorta noob at this so please forgive me
I'm re-doing my entire recording setup and approach and am getting down to the last bits of routing. I was wondering about if I should put things like compressors/effects into the input stream side of things or not.
Highly unlikely I'll use effects (like reverb on vocals) but what about things like compression on things like bass/vocals/kick?
Do you do it that way or leave it all to mixing/processing on playback? I don't have great quality rack gear.
I'm kinda going with the thought process that I should be capturing as "real" a signal to begin with as possible and just deal with it digitally.
If I'm bringing up a lot of old news please point me to the old thread... I didn't see anything obvious already.
Cheers!
