My school had a new theater built in 2003 and had a very good sound designer. We have a lot of stuff that we don't use and I am trying to make use of it to make our shows better. One of the items in our booth rack is what I believe to be a PreSonus Audio ACP88Eight Channel Compressor/Limiter/Gate (or something similar). We have an insert snake to our Soundcraft Series TWO (which has inserts) but it looks if the inserts have never been used. I was wondering what people use Compressor/Limiter/Gate's for, and how they can be used in the system?
So my question is why/how do you use a Compressor/Limiter/Gate?
