Side chain
You can manipulate the side chain filter from the side chain section (channel strip and
GUI). The side chain filter is a swept band pass type, which acts on the dynamics side
chains of the compressor and gate, and covers the full audio spectrum.
Item Description
1 IN switch, switches the side chain filter into the sidechain signal path.
2 freq control knob, adjusts the side chain filter frequency in the range 50Hz
to 15kHz. (Visually, this moves the envelope on the graph left or right.)
3 WIDTH button, changes the filter Q. There are three options, and the
effects of each are shown in the side chain graph (see above). This is only
enabled when the side chain filter is switched on.
4 MENU button, opens the Select Side-Chain Source window from which
you can select the side chain source for the selected input channel (see
“Side chain” on page 265). Pressing this button with the Select Side-
Chain Source window open, closes the window.
5 LISTEN/[LSTN] switch, places the side chain pushbutton onto the channel
filter bus, allowing the audio signal to be monitored via headphones. This
effectively replaces the channel solo audio path with a post-filter
(pre-dynamic) signal.
