Not the best way to set a compressor

[Gswitz]

My daughter hangs out for hours with her phone and my gear.

Last night, I recorded for a few hours with a friend.

This morning I noticed the compressor knobs had been arranged in pretty patterns that have nothing to do music.

I don't think she knows the Attack > Release > Ratio > Threshold method of setting a compressor.

There's always new things to teach your kid. ?

Fortunately, I record the tracks pre-compressor also.

Reminds me of a recent story from my business partner.  His daughter was playing with his iPhone while it was locked and managed to enter the wrong pattern enough times to brick the thing.  She proudly presented it to him and said "Look Dad!  I made this pretty red color!"  LOL.

If it sounds good it's a keeper!
