Hi Everyone! I'm completely new to recording, and am just trying to setup an *extremely* modest ability to do some recording at home, mostly for fun and learning right now. All the reviews have led me to believe that the FireBox is the way to go for the audio interface. The once question I have is in regard to compression. I'll mostly be playing with recording instruments such like a Native American flute, and various hand drums (djembe, congas, etc.), and my experience so far has me suspecting that some type of compression would be very helpful, especially for being able to increase the gain to get the "ring" from the drums like the djembe without risking clipping on the initial hit. Has anyone used the firebox in conjunction with some type of compressor? I was looking at Presonus' COMP16 compressor, and it said the mic has to be pre-amped before going into the compressor. Since the Firebox is the pre-amp, and also the audio interface, that left me unsure as to how I would have to connect things to use a compressor with the Firebox. Has anyone done anything like this? Or would I need to look for separate components for pre-amp and interface, so the compressor could be connected between them?
