SV: where to compress?

That's why I put my RNC compressor after my Akai MFC42 filter. I use to
trim the compressor settings so that any instrument I'm playing live
will push back the loop a little in voume. This way you get a dynamic
feel when playing phrases on top of a loop. I even put my reverb before
the the compressor to get this beautifully big room to sparse music,
since the compressor is lifting the reverb between the notes (played or
looped). 

Best wishes
