I need help adjusting the DBX 166xl. What's the basic setting for this compressor? Can someone please tell me the setting for each button and analog? Thanks guys.

I would start with a basic setting of Starting from left to right. Expander/Gate - Threshold & Ratio off (fully counter clockwise) Contour Button - try both ways, may sound better to your ears in or out. Next Threshold (for the compressor) maybe -10 Overeasy Button between Threshold & Ratio pushed in Ratio - 2:1 - 4:1 Attack & Release fully counterclockwise Auto Button between Attack & Release pushed in Output Gain shouldn't need to be much higher than 0 but some setups have needed to go as high as +10 Peakstop limiter may not need to be used, but it can be effective. Maybe +5 Don't need stereo coupling if you are running it on mics.
