Compressor I --> Saturator settings for DJing electro?
So I've been looking for a quality limiter that can also maintain the things I like about Compressor I (i.e. making my tracks hit harder over big systems) and happened upon the post on here about putting Saturator with default settings afterward. Problem is, I don't really know how best to tweak the compressor settings when using this trick. Do I just turn the attack all the way up to 1.00s? Do I turn the output up until it clips? Ratio? Threshold? Thanks in advance for any help...

why would you want to compress an already compressed track?
if you want to hit harder, just ask the sound guy to turn the system up. he should be experienced with the club he's working in. ask him nicely, explaining you don't want to kill the life out of your tracks by compressing already compressed tracks. if your social skills are any good, most sound guys do it right away.
the only thing you might need, is a limiter, to stop you from hitting digital zero on your sound card.
