Thanks for that very informative post. You say:
"The DCX has 2 compressor sections. Overall compression and frequency selective compression plus a 3rd section for brick wall limiting."

Is it possible to do frequency independent compression? It seems that compression is frequency dependent :-(

I'm not really sure how you manage the paging or vocal setups! Assume you compress the frequencies from 500Hz to 5kHz wouldn't the other un-compressed frequencies get louder? For example in the paging scenario, if it is setup so that the vocal frequencies are compressed and I play music, wouldn't the uncompressed sounds from the bass guitar be louder than the compressed vocals and ruin the speakers? Am I missing something? Maybe you could post the EQ settings you use?
