[sdiy] compression and noise gate

[mark verbos]

the best way is to combine them. That is, detect for both from the dry 
signal, then connect both control voltages to the same VCA. If you 
compress, you will bring up the noise, but lose the dynamics you will 
want the gate to see. If you gate first, you will then bring up the 
noise in compression, reducing the effect of the gate.
