I think I really dig the simplicity of these comps. I mean, you slide the slider to the right for more compression. If it sounds good, great. If it doesn't sound good, maybe it's time to find something more complex. This is kind of a "no brainer" for a first option though.
When I was reading threads about these units, people kept saying, "it doesn't sound very good with the slider more than a quarter of the way over." Well, I'm thinking that maybe these units sound fine with more aggressive compression, depending on the source. I think the heavier compression sounds a bit better on my voice than it does on the guitar, for example. A slightly more sophisticated approach to recording than the one mono mic I used could have produced more pleasant results.
Obviously, I could have done some things in the room to lower the noise floor. My AC was running, and the refrigerator, and some other stuff which made the room less than silent. I think I might end up being very happy with these.
