[PlanetCCRMA] General processing ?

[mike@banta.psyc.missouri.edu]

Sorry if there's a better list for this stuff, if so, please direct me so 
I can not waste people's time.

1. What is the best reverb plugin people have found.  I'm running Ardour, 
and just need one that sound decent but doesn't crash; something only 
freeverb has provided thus far.  Also, good compressor recommendations?

2. Does anyone run compression on the input signal, before the harddisk?  
It would take power away from post-recording mixing...however, it seems I 
could get a much hotter, non-clipping input if I do this.

Thanks for any thoughts,
mike
