If compression is a bit of a gray area for you, this crash course video will demonstrate to you what it is.
I'm using Live's stock compressor, which is a very useful compressor in most compression scenarios.
For the heck of it, I did an Ableton Live drum rack with the drum sounds I recorded from my SP-12. Comes with optional added reverb and crunch and subby condiments.
