Compressors on group channels cauing phasing?

[LosingReality]

So when i put a compressor on a group channel and not on another 1 im getting phasey sounds....i assume its from the latency correct?

Should i not be putting anything other then EQ on a group channel?

Where should the compressors go then?

Even if i put it on the track, wont i be getting that same latency if i dont put it on all the tracks?

EDIT: Tried putting the compressor on the tracks themselves, if i dont have it on every track....Its phasey....big time!

Cubase does have plugin compensation but it doesnt change anything.

Any help?

Does your DAW have PDC? (plugin delay compensation)

It shouldn't be phasing out unless you're doing parallel compression (one bus dry and the other compressed). If you are doing that, and some comps don't work well in parallel (eg. Voxengo Marquis), then just put the same comp on the dry bus without any gain reduction.

Nope no para comp....just sending the guitars from mic 1 to a group channel and compressing them and sending the guitars from mic 2 to another group, and if i dont compress that one too....Its phasey....like bigtime.

Just putting them on the track its self now.....it does the same thing. I have to compress ALL the tracks for it to not be phasey....??? Wtf?

what compressor plugin are you using in this case?

and does the same thing happen when you use a different plugin?

C4

It happens if i turn on and off the gate on one of the channels too.

Does that comp plug have a phase invert button?
Many eq plugs have that..

C4 is a multiband and afaik all multibands cause delay, even with delay compensation.

Send BOTH your mics to the same bus, and put the multiband on the entire guitar bus.
