I´m about to do a recording with a brassband in my home studio. ...
What can I do to get a good leveled recording ?


Have them run thru the material a few times in practice (RECORD THESE EVEN
IF YOU DONšT INTEND TO USE THEM... Tell them you;re only getting levels...
As you are)
Whatever you end up with, attenuate the input preamps another 6dB or so for
safety and adrenaline on the real takes.

Can I set the ACP-88 to the lowest attack and release with the highest
ratio to cut the peaks ?


If you do this right, you should never have to be hitting the limiter at
all.


Should I use a compressor for reducing dynamics first and a limiter in
line to cut the remainig peaks ?


I'm confused.. You;r erunning 24 bits, what the heck's your worry for
headroom?
