Thanks Paul P. relentless 1, that's only some of the compression articles. I imagine you will have fun and save money and learn a lot by using that site.
 
Someone mentioned Groove3, that's a good resource too. There is also MacProVideo, the Recording Revolution, and the Pro Audio Files. Those are all worth checking out, the only reason I mentioned SoundonSound was because it's free and it compiles a lot of information which proves to be really beneficial.
