A compressor with a side-chain input controls gain from main input to output based on the level of the signal at the side-chain input. [26] An early innovator of side-chain compression in an effects unit was the Eventide Omnipressor from 1974. [27]
The LA-2A is a hand-wired, tube-based compressor. It uses an electroluminescent panel together with a cadmium-sulfide light-dependent resistor (which in the LA-2A's own terminology is called the T4 cell) to provide gain reduction. The properties of the T4 give the LA-2A its unique character by making it an entirely program-dependent design.
The difference between ducking and side-chain pumping is that in ducking the attenuation is by a specific range while side-chain compression creates variable attenuation. [ 1 ] : 94 Ducking may be used in place of mirrored equalization to combat masking , for example with the bass guitar ducked under the kick drum, resembling subtle side-chain ...
Broadband de-essing using bandpass filtered side-chain. With this technique, the signal feeding the side-chain of a dynamic-range compressor is equalized or filtered so that the sibilant frequencies are most prominent. As a result, the compressor only reduces the level of the signal when there is a high level of sibilance.
Side-chain pumping is a more advanced technique using a compressor's side-chain feature which, "uses the amplitude envelope (dynamics profile) of one track as a trigger for a compressor used in another track." When the amplitude of a note of the side-chained instrument surpasses the threshold setting of the compressor it attenuates the ...
The Distressor is an analog VCA compressor with a soft knee and a fixed threshold.Its ratio, attack and release times, and input and output gain are all variable. The device has built-in options for tube and tape distortion emulation and high-pass filtering, as well as a built-in side-chain allowing for the compressed signal (but not the output) to be high-passed, boosted at 6 kilohertz and/or ...
Side-chain, side chain, or sidechain may refer to: Side chain , a chemical group attached to the main chain or backbone of a molecule, such as a protein Substituent , an atom or group of atoms substituted in place of a hydrogen atom on the parent chain of a hydrocarbon
[8] While parallel compression is widely utilized in electronic dance music, "side-chain" compression is the technique popularly used to give a synth lead or other melodic element the pulsating quality ubiquitous in the genre. One or more tracks may be side-chained to the kick, thereby compressing them only when the beat occurs.
