Using compression on audio book project

Hello fellow slutz!


The recording stage of an audio book is now done. No compression was applied during the recording. Dry signal recorded in a sound booth - 24 bit recording.



I am now doing the editing and post on the project. Edit is pretty much done and next up compression etc.



My question is how do you guys do compression o your audio book projects - do you usually compress already on record stage or all in the post? The audio book I am on now is the Quran and the talent is both reciting and reading the translation. It is recorded verse by verse so: recitation - translation - recitation - translation etc. The recitation parts are about 6-9db louder than the english translation.



Using compressor brings out the roomy qualities of the recording up on all the recitation parts which are hard to eq out without affecting the talents natural sound (he sounds great btw.). How do you guys level out vocals in this kind of situations? My goal is to make the levelling sound as natural as possible.



And just as further info, the whole book is about 50 hours of material so we are talking about long recordings. This is just to say that manual editing is out of question :D



Thanks so much in advance for any help! I will do testing with vocal rider and different comps etc. and will let you guys know how they work but would be cool to get any tips and trick to get started!
