Fair play to you for reading up on compression and coming back to post your comment

I've recently gone down the hearing aid route, and it's made quite a difference. Dad has made some good points about reference material. I have done audio/studio work professionally since I was 18 and my hearing deteriorated over the years (also due to an infection), but found that with a built in knowledge of how things were meant to sound (and how to use eq etc) I could compensate for the loss. What I was hearing wasn't right, but i trusted that I knew what I was doing and didn't over compensate for it (ie screwing in lots of mid/treble). Definitely get hearing aids. No excuses if the missis is a professional. It'll make a big difference to your mixing (knowing what you're hearing is right).

I don't think there is an inbuilt compressor or noise gate (at least it's not one of the parameters you can edit). It's a reverb/delay/modulation piece of outboard gear. If its a Stereo Spread preset, there's probably phase shifting/chorus going on, widening the image. Are you listening in mono or stereo? If mono, perhaps you're only getting one side. Or, the mono is summing the stereo effect causing out of phase audio (which is used to widen the stereo image) to cancel out. If theres a slight delay, have you mixed in a dry signal or just listening to the effect? Chorus uses a modulated delay to create the effect so you maybe getting just the delayed signal. In a studio situation, this unit would normally be a piece of outbard gear, feed by an aux send and you would also have a dry signal present. Hope that helps. Download the manual and get in to the editing section, find out what's being used.

Very good 🤣 Don't know much about Arturia, but this looks a direct copy of a UREI 1176, which coincidently was my go to compression for bass.

I'm surprised they haven't implemented importing from a pic file

Firstly, apologies if this info is posted elsewhere. I've read most of this thread and done searches but can't find an answer. Happy for a link to be posted where I can read up if there is one. A couple of real world questions. As a band, we're rehursing with IEM as were in the drummers music room at home. He has a V kit, bass/guit are di'd so it just the singing anyone else can hear. We're using a Soundcraft digital system so we all have our own stereo feeds. Works perfectly (and saves on rehursal room fees!) and we take this system out live with us. However, we've not used the IEMs live yet. So what happens when we do a 'small' festival with multiple bands i.e. not our gear? What's people's experience with this? Do we ask the engineer to unplug from the monitoring/stage box and use that as a feed into our own headphone amps? What happens if there's only 3 aux sends and we're a 4 piece. Do you forgo IEM in these situations (in this case the kit would probably be acoustic anyway). Secondly. What do people do with the lead from the earpieces? Inside your top? Hanging loose down the back? Currently I'm not wireless, so have a dual guitar lead/headphone lead situation going back to the amp/headphone amp (cable tied together) so can unplug the earphones when I take the bass off. Finally, how do you communicate with the band on stage, say if there's a set change or need to say something. Talkback on stage? Possibly an omni mic in front the drums that picks up just the stage. Hopefully someone with experience using IEMs will have come across these situations already.

In a studio environment, the compressor is the least understood and misused of all the studio outboard gear. Took me a few years to be fully ofay with it (on all instruments /vocals that is, not just bass). Even professionals get it wrong. I hate watching live music on tv and hearing the compressor pumping away because the attack /release times have been set wrong. I was taught "think of it as bringing up the quiet bits rather than turning down the loud bits". I've used dozens of different types (Neave, dbx, fairchild, Urei, teletronix) and they all have their different characteristics.
