Well, if you need compression at the tracking stage, maybe don't have the mic so close to the source?
Also,
the very best compressor you will ever own is free. Thats right, free.
Your finger, on the fader.
Some guys, man, it just looks like their finger is vibrating...but seriously it works, and sounds WAY better once you get the hang of it.
