As the compressor is probably not necessary for every task the vu-meter with its builtin volumecontrol is the most needed part of KRec for recordings. It shows the actual level that is recorded to the file after the used effects and after the volume set with the control. If it is deep red most of the time the recording is probably clipped and doesn't sound nice. If it flickers around the bottom 2% its probably not much you will hear in your recording.
For good recordings the level should be between -12dB and 0dB most of the time.
Use the compressor for editing the dynamics of your recordings. See the section called “The Compressor” for more info.
