VCA COMPRESSION SECTION
VCA Compressor:
The VCA compressor is built around an emulation of the venerable DBX
202 VCA integrated circuit. Sound wise, this compressor is similar to a cross between a DBX
160 and an SSL channel compressor, but smoother and perhaps cleaner. If you want huge
amounts of punch and color, go patch in our Pawn Shop Comp or Talkback Limiter. But if
you want to beautifully smooth things out while still controlling articulation and details, the
AIP's VCA compressor is your new best buddy.
It has a full range of controls.
THRESHOLD
: 0dB to -100dB
RATIO
: 2:1 to 12:1
ATTACK
: 3ms to 200ms
RELEASE
: 10ms to 4 seconds
MAKEUP
: 0dB to +24dB gain
Use
THRESHOLD
to set the level at which the compressor kicks in. Use
RATIO
to adjust
how much the signal is compressed, and use
ATTACK
and
RELEASE
to adjust articulation
and detail.
ENABLE
puts the compressor into the signal chain, and
PRE POST
places it
before the eq section or after it. And there are more compressor controls on the back!
