A compressor is generally used for this: try a ratio of 2:1, middle
setting for attack & release time, no make-up gain.
While listening to a 4 bar loop of the congas, bring down the
threshold down, and find where it starts to have an effect. Find
something suitable, that it removes a little of the peak, but not too
much: use your ears :)
With those settings, try changing the attack , and see what setting
works well. A longer attack on a compressor allows the initial "peak"
to cut trough, and then compression will kick in. Shorter attacks will
tame all the peaks, but will give a somewhat unnatural sound.
Hope that helps, -Harry
