Sidechain Equalisation – How and When to Use it
When would Sidechain EQ be useful?
When it is necessary to adjust the sensitivity of the gate, tailoring the sidechain signal
with equalisation is the only way to achieve this without affecting the main signal path.
How would sidechain EQ normally be implemented?
Typically, sidechain EQ would be patched into the in/out external path as offered by
the dynamics processor. The
G2
obviates the need for this external processing by
including both standard high and low pass filters, and a full frequency band of
parametric EQ in the side chain for each channel.
Picking out instruments for gating.
Sidechain EQ is most often associated with homing in on a band of frequencies to
improve the performance of a noise gate. Being able to exclude extraneous program
material will make the triggering of a gate much more reliable and easier to set up.
The
G2
’s noise gate (and
expander) offers not only
the high and low pass
filters, but an additional
band of fully parametric
EQ per channel.
