Big pay or small the audience deserves the very best from the entertainer.


Thanks for offering help.

Why wouldn't a compressor help? I get zero complaints about my sound system or my voice when I'm singing, but I get occasional complaints from individuals who cannot hear my speech in between songs. If there are cadences in my speech that these seniors cannot pick up because the volume is not consistent, a compressor would help.

So, I am not requesting assistance on what kind of mic to use, mic placement, speaker placement, or anything else.

Yamaha provides a compressor in the Talk settings. There must be a reason for this. My question is, what would be a good way to set the compressor to aid in clear speech. This is from someone who does not know what any of the controls are for.
