I'm trying to get a vintage sound, but because I like the sound, not to make the recording sound vintage, if you know what I mean. I'm pretty inexperienced in recording, but I thought I had our recording all figured out. Am I going to need a compressor to run the drums through? We're recording straight to 1/4" tape (again, because I like the sound; not to be old-school. Plus it's just way more fun.). The music we play can get pretty loud with distorted guitar. It's just me and the guitar, and I'm planning on the guitar not sounding as up front as it usually is today, too. Do you think I would still need compression?
