"Analog", on the other hand, higher values, a very loud input signal, or the sum of these
will make the use of dynamics compression audible. In both modes, the nullification of
the feedback parameter is in the center of the fader. To the right, the plug-in works in
"Dual delay" mode (both sides work independently), and to the left, "Ping pong" mode
will be activated (the delayed signal alternates between the left and right sides).
• Mix: Regulates the mix ratio of the original signal and the delayed portion.
Compressor
This plug-in is a simple but efficient tool for reducing the signal dynamics. Percussion
tracks may be modeled compacter and with more pumping, vocals may be integrated into
the mix better, or entire sum or group signals may be made denser.
Compared to other plug-ins of this kind, this compressor works with a comparably soft
characteristic curve, an adaptive process to compress in a very musical way. Furthermore,
a separate input (external side-chain signal) may be defined as the controlling source.
Compressor parameters
• Mode: The selection includes a choice of input signal used for detection. "Internal side-
chain" selects the actual input signal to control the compression process, i.e. the
"normal" case. On the other hand, if another track in your project triggers the
compression, then select "external side-chain". In this case, one of the two stereo tracks
routed to the plug-in are used.
• SC listen: This allows the actual control signal for the compressor to be monitored. This
may be quite important when using an external side-chain and more setting the high-
pass filter (see below). In "Listen" mode, the input meter always displays the actual side-
chain level. Note that due to the internal switching design, monitoring of the side-chain
may take place with compression.
So that the monitoring function does accidentally remain active, the button will blink.
• SC filter: Set to the left, the fader will use the complete frequency range of the control
signal for level detection. The more the fader is moved to the right, the less bass will be
included. This high-pass filtering enables complex sources (drums or sum signals) to
achieve consistent regulation without typical pumping artifacts, since the process is
mainly activated via mids and highs.
• Threshold: This sets the response threshold for regulation. For example, -20 dB means
that the input/SC signal is only compressed once it reaches -20 dB; below this level, no
change or hardly any change will take place. Note that this plug-in works with the target
