Phil, thank you very much indeed for this insight. Hm, i am not sure 
if i will use compression at all. I have the impression that not 
handled right, you can "destroy" more than letting the mix without 
any compression. But i will play around with the algorithm in the 
AN1x and see how it goes. 
Aren´t there any books out there for self-study? Hm, i check if 
the "Wizoo"Guide on FX (http://www.wizoo.de) contains some info about 
compression.

I think i can use the BOSS VF-1 later for compressing very easily. 
This should be enough for my "homerecording/livingroom" productions.

But a last question. What does an "enhancer" does? I would guess that 
it´s just almost the same as a "Finalizer"..., right?

Thank you,

Tom
