I need to run a compressor due to my bass players style to prevent clipping on my HD24. I'm running bass into Whirlwind DI box and then into Yamaha MLA7 preamp and then into HD24.
My question is should the comp go before the preamp or after. I'm not clipping the preamp, just the recorder, so wondering if I should keep all the headroom in the preamp and then compress and then print it.
compressor is a Yamaha GC2020. I'm recording punk rock so a fat steady tone is what I want, not really concerned about alot of dynamics.
