The sandard way to use a comp/limiter is as a insert device.
a insert device works at line level, not mic level

but when inserted on a mic channel it works on that mic
behringer makes some really good and low cost comptessors
the 4 channel multicom is not much over 100$

Depends which one. Avoid Alesis. The Behringer ones are normally OK,
especially the composer pros which are excellent.

The 4 channel one I looked at and found a little lacking technically. Is it the
Ultracom 2400 'pro' 2 channel unit. Sounded OK to me. Did the job and was easy
to use. You need to know about how to properly use a compressor though, that's
the real one.
