4.4.3.7 Setup & Activate the Dynamics Sidechain Link
The effect of a Dynamics Sidechain Link, if activated, is identical to any
item of outboard gear set to Link or Stereo mode. This function is used to
control between two and eight Dynamics Processors inserted into up to
eight different channels. Regardless of which channel is carrying the high-
est signal level, all processors will the provide the same gain modification.
In this way, Stereo or Multi-channel Surround image stability will be pre-
served. Unlike in many analog consoles with dynamics units, the channels
to be linked do not need to have adjacent locations.
Note: The number of Sidechain Links available (if any) is determined by the
Session Configuration. Additional links can only be created using the Ses-
sion Configuration Tool; please refer to chapter 7.
To activate the Sidechain Link for a selected channel, check the Enable
Sidechain Link box. This will activate linking of the Sidechain with an-
other channel, or with other channels assigned to that particular Link
Group. The channel must be assigned to a Link Group in order for the En-
able Sidechain Link box to function. The SCL (Sidechain Link) keys on
the LACP (D950) or Vistonics (Vista) will follow the selections.
The status of the Sidechain Link is stored within Snapshots and Presets.
