4. Editing Compressor, Limiter, and Gate Side Chain
Parameters
The Compressor, Limiter, and Gate devices in the ISP-100 will accept a “virtual
control voltage” to control or activate its particular function. A common use for
this function would be to “link” two compressors or limiters in a stereo mode so
they function consistently and evenly. This prevents an unbalanced stereo
image. There are many other uses for this function. For example you may want
the presence of a signal in one audio path to gate the signal in a secondary audio
path. This is used many times in emergency paging to override other signals.
After selecting and placing a Compressor, Limiter, or Gate, right mouse click and
select “Edit”. You will see the following dialog window:
Figure 20.
In the Side Chain window, you will be given a choice of all applicable devices
with which you can side chain to. In this case Compressor 1A is side chained to
the Input Selector of 1B and vice versa to establish and even stereo
compression.
