User Manual

The Gain Reduction Control module receives the detection signal (selected from the internal
feedback or the external side-chain signal) and also signals from the Advanced Side-Chain
Parameters, in order to determine how the Gain Reduction circuit will work on the main
signal path.
After the M/S decoding block, the main signal (processed audio) proceeds to the Output Gain
block. Make-up gain is applied to compensate for any reduction in volume that may have
happened at the Gain Reduction stage.
Finally, the main signal reaches the Mix stage, where it can be mixed with the original
(bypassed) audio, before sending everything to the plug-in output.
This is the complete signal flow of the Comp FET-76. It may seem a bit overwhelming,
but spend some time with it and we're sure you'll gain a deep understanding of how the
compressor works.
