I just put up new drywall on ceiling what texture can i use with compond if any?

You can use the same drywall compound for the texture as you would use to do the taping with if your wanting a knockdown type texture. I do drywall work myself and I like to use the lite mud-the stuff in the blue buckets for the taping and then use the cheapest mud you can find-usually the green colored buckets and thin it down to ruffly a mayonnaise consistency, and then use a spray hopper gun and compressor to spray it onto the ceiling. Then while it's still wet take a wide flat thin plexi-gl trowel and lightly flatten it out to give you the knockdown look. If you're wanting the acoustic texture look then you'll need a seperate acoustic spray compound that you add water to for the sprayed on texture .
