3. EXTERNAL SIDECHAIN
Feature: Connect an external equalizer here. Either parametric or graphic will suffice, though parametric provides finer control.
Benefit: Boost or cut any frequency, to make the Compressor more or less sensitive to that audio range.
Example: See the “Sidechain” controls section.
Tip:
,
Cables DO make a difference. Ask for Mogami 2534 interconnects.
Tip:
