Hey, I'm relatively new to the recording scene, and have not much idea how to use compression. What would be some good settings to start at for a rhythm and lead guitar track? I have a VST plugin, classic compression, for audacity if it matters. Thanks.

The first time I heard a Beatles song was "Let It Be." Some little kid was singing along with it: "Let it pee, let it pee" and pretending he was taking a leak. Hey, that's what happened, OK?-some guy

Playing guitar and never playing for others is like studying medicine and never working in a clinic.
