In this place, McSim was recorded saying ...
thanks- but what is best then?
record without compr and have VERY wide dynamic, compress later OR
record with compression?

On a digital systems - especially using 24 bit depth - you have more
than enough dynamic range to record without any need for compression.
Just turn down the levels so the peaks never hit 0dBFS - a level of
-6dBFS is still OK.

Compress later when you come to mix. If you need to.
