To use the side-chain filters
1 Click the Monitor button to hear how the High Cut and Low Cut filters will affect the
incoming trigger signal.
2 Drag the High Cut slider to set the upper frequency. Trigger signals above this are filtered.
3 Drag the Low Cut slider to set the lower frequency. Trigger signals below this are filtered.
The filters allow only very high (loud) signal peaks to pass. In the drum kit example, you
could remove the hi-hat signal, which is higher in frequency, with the High Cut filter and
allow the snare signal to pass. Turn monitoring off to set a suitable Threshold level more
easily.
Preset Multipressor
The Preset Multipressor is a simplified version of the Logic Pro Multipressor plug-in. A
multi-band compressor splits the incoming signal into different frequency bands before
applying compression. These frequency bands are then compressed independently.
Following compression, the frequency bands are mixed back together, and sent to the
output of the plug-in. The aim of independent compression on different frequency bands
is to strongly compress the bands that need it, without introducing the pumping effect
(on other bands) that would normally be heard when using high compression levels.
The Preset Multipressor features a single pop-up menu that allows you to choose settings
optimized for various genres. The names of these settings are self-explanatory. As always,
use your ears to determine which one best fits your needs.
Note: The Preset Multipressor is automatically inserted in place of the Multipressor when
you load Logic Pro projects (that contain Multipressor instances) into Logic Express.
