EFFECTS MENU 461
Side Chain: If you use advanced dynamics as a track or master effect and it is not a track
surround effect, the "Sidechain" button will appear. The activation of this option requests
an external signal for calculating the internal control signal.
When you activate the sidechain you can specify one or more previous tracks as side chain
input by repeatedly clicking on the "Sidechain" button. In the tracks or mixer channels
which were set as the sidechain signals, the track name of the fed track will appear in the
AUX section above the send level.
Internally, a sidechain bus (AUX bus) is created. Right-clicking on the AUX send button
selects this as "Sidechain send". "Pre fader" is the default setting for the signal input of the
sidechain send.
The "Sidechain solo" function sets the effect to "Bypass" and only the input of the side
chain is played. When closing the dialog, the "Sidechain solo" function is reset.
Advanced Dynamics – Dynamic Scope
Dynamic scope appears when you play the selected object/sample in an open dialog. You
can then see a scattered white line, a "snow cloud" whose individual points represents the
input and output values. This way, the change to the samples that is achieved via
advanced dynamics is constantly visualized.
The functionality of the dynamic scope can be easily explained with the following example:
Select "ZERO" and press "Play", now the effect won't change the signal. The scope shows
all samples on the red lines and this means that all output values equal the input values. If
you slide the gain fader upwards, you can see that the snow cloud follows the reference
line. If you select very high time constants, this takes place relatively slowly.
Selecting a relatively short attack time (10 ms), a long release time (400 ms) and a severely
arched reference line can move the effect towards pumping. The "restlessness" of the
dynamic scope graphically mirrors the pumping.
Advanced Dynamics – Tips and tricks
• Select one of the supplied presets as a general setting. You can now adapt the
reference line to the source material with the help of the dynamic scope and very
precisely separate the signal components.
• If the scattered line of the dynamic scope moves very jerkily, this is probably because of
the settings of the time constants. Set these according to your sound preferences and
then save your own presets.
