elysia mpressor Dual-Channel Creative Compressor - Manual (Page 8)

8
On the previous page you have learned that
many host programs feature a built-in support
for the mpressor’s external sidechain function-
ality.
If you are using Pro Tools or Logic, all you have
to do is activate the SC Extern switch on the
mpressor plugin and assign a bus to it in the
corresponding drop down window.
Since the introduction of VST 3, using the side-
chain function with Cubase and Nuendo (ver-
sion 4 or higher) is equally easy.
But why is there also an elysia mpressor sc vari-
ant? If you are using a VST based host that does
not support VST 3, you cannot address the side-
chain input directly from the interface of the
plugin.
This is where the elysia mpressor sc comes into
play. It has 4 inputs (audio L+R plus sidechain
L+R). Unfortunately, every host is a little bit dif-
ferent in how to do adress these 4 inputs .
Please understand that we cannot describe
all the different approaches here. An Internet
search “host name” + “sidechain” will quickly
bring you the desired info, however.
If your host does not support sidechaining at
all, just use the normal mpressor plugin without
the sc extension.
