I'm currently setting up a home studio. It would not be used as a multi track recording studio, but a acoustic live-jam studio.
Currently, I only have guitars that are plugged into the mixer via DI and microphones.
I have two pairs of outs on my mixer. The main out (to my audio interface) and the C-R out (with volume control) to my monitors.
1. How can I add the compressor to the overall whole mix?
2. While compressors are generally used as insert effects, I've read articles about using compressors as bus effects, mixing the compressed signal with the original signal. However, aren't aux sends mono? Won't mixing the compressed signal (mono) with the original signal (stereo) distort the sound stage/panning of the instruments?
