I want to record a drum (snare) track with Compression recorded with it. I have the Y56k card as well. How would I do this so that the "Compression" is recorded with the track?

From what I understand, you can't do it. You'll need an outboard compressor to compress the signal before it hits the A/D converters. I was bummed when I was told this, because I wanted to be able to do a bit of compressing on some vocals while recording. I solved my problem rather inexpensively with an ART TPS tube preamp. It's not a compressor, but it does have output protection limiting. My vocal tracks have had no peaking problems since. Everything else I find I can compress to taste during mixdown.

OSNAVA15, I bought the BEHRINGER ULTRA VOICE DIGITAL VX2496 about 4 months ago, nice voice processor for the bucks ($160.00). Very pleased with it.

Can't you just bounce it?

I have an Alesis 3630 Compressor with a limiter/noisegate. Also a Presonus TubePre. Now, I've tried connecting the vocal mic to the compressor then to the aw and I got no signal. Is this because I need a pre before or after the compressor? If so, in theory, shouldn't my TubePre make this work?

Does the mic require phantom power? And, if so, is it on?

I have a shure ksm 32 condenser mic. It has a decibal switch and a another for low or high end.

You need phantom power.

Is your phantom power turned on on your adub?
