What do folks who use compression on their 2 track recordings of PA-driven concert material typically use for settings?
I'm assuming that in this application, the FOH engineer is already using a variety of limiters and compressors. For 2ch "mastering" of recordings, if I use any compression at all, I use something like a 1.3:1 ratio or 1.4:1, kicking in at somewhere between -8db or -12db. So meaning, really not much compression at all.
2:1 is pretty light compression I guess, but I've never even tried going anywhere near that far, and don't think I've gone any more (less? depends on definition) than a threshold of -12db.
