I read
http://designingsound.org/2013/06/tutorial-a-compressor-in-pure-data/
about compressor working and I tried 3 different (or similar)
compressors: the one from the page, the one from DIY2 by Hardoff
and the one from rjdj by Jwif. I thought that compressors works
different...
I use visual arrays to see the difference from the original sound
(that is very loud) and the compressed one. With the first
compressor, there was NO DIFFERENCE. No at all... I don't know if
I was using wrong, but it was the same graphic. With
DIY2/st-compressor.pd, there's difference and it seems to be
good... untill I make a kick. Again, the waves goes to the sky
(well, not so much). The third compressor can compress a lot (low
threshold), but all the rest of the sound does too.
I though that only the sounds that are higher the threshold are
compressed and the rest stay the same. Am I wrong? Am I confused?
I thought that a compressor is like tanh(), but with editable
controls.
Can someone explain this to me?

Then, you haven't picked the right computer for your
composition :)
If I could, I would buy another notebook... and throw away this
with-non-working-in-Linux-hybrid-graphic-cards fucking HP
notebook. But, our economy is fatal. One dollar is ten argentine
pesos. I bought this computer 3-4 years ago, at ARS $6.000. Think
spending U$S 6.000 in a computer. Now, a good computer, is above
$10.000.

ask 4 persons and you probably will get 4 different
answers. first thing i would notice the setup seems dirty. for
example use an external preamp instead of digital amplification
(e.g. *~4) if you want proper sound quality. secondly i think
you should try out and trust your ears. it really depends on
what you want it to sound. tanh most probably will lead to more
distortion while compression will eat more cpu.
I will use a wireless system with this mic, so, it has gain. I'll
check that, because I think that it is important a preamp there.
to avoid your kicks being louder than vocals you
should refer to beatboxers. maybe you do something wrong there.
or you should use 2 mics. i admit i am not familiar with mixing
rappers who beatbox at the same time
The mic is very good and it sound very good. I want to clarify my
doubts, because I "see" waves beyond 1 in visual arrays... and I
want to understand that.
