Hard Comp Results in fairly deep compression

If using the compressor causes the sound to become distorted, lower the gain of each band or adjust the mixdown so that
the maximum level does not quite cause the overload indicator to light. By doing this, you can achieve a good balance and
effectively increase the overall sound level.
