Weekly words of wisdom
Remember when using compression to match the output level to that of the input level, this is done using the make-up gain usually present on all plugin compressors. This can be checked simply by bypassing the compressor and listening to the level with and without the plugin applied. Repeat this process until the level is matched.
Its important to match the gain levels as you've probably spent a lot of time and effort on proper gain staging and that can easily be reversed with too much output gain from a compressor. As well as this, you will not be able to accurately judge what the compressor is doing to your audio signal if the level is louder with the compressor on. Your ears can easily be tricked into thinking something is better because it's louder, so ensure you match the gain coming out of your compressor to what is going in.
