What sort of Compressor/Limiter do I need?

[obbm]

Since my hearing started to deteriorate I have always been able to watch and feel the drums however my new band currently use pre-recorded or sequenced drum tracks so there is nothing to watch or feel. As a way round this problem I recently invested in an Eich DBC400R Active Sub-Woofer Stool, a sitting down version of the Bass Board. Yesterday's rehearsal confirmed that it was the right thing to do as I could finally feel the drums and lock in with them.  

 

In a similar way to In-Ears the Eich is getting the drums from an Aux Bus of the mixer via a power amp however I noticed that there were quite a few variations in incoming levels.  It's not practical to keep tweaking the power amp all the time so I was thinking that perhaps I need to put some kind of limiter in circuit to provide some sort of automatic level control. As this not an area of expertise I would welcome any suggestions for suitable kit that isn't going to cost an arm and a leg as the Eich has somewhat emptied the piggy bank.

If it were me, I'd be looking at something like a Behringer composer pro. It's a 19" rack unit and they go for around £50 on ebay.

Better sort out the drum track levels before doing anything else.

We also have backing track level issues. We buy them all from the same source but the levels vary greatly. We just have to alter the level manually.
