Compressor stage
The compressor has two modes:
• PC76 U-Type Channel Compressor. This is the default mode when using ProChannel on a
track. This mode is meticulously modelled after one of the most renowned and famous solid-state
(F.E.T.) compressors that is used in professional studios and recordings. Known to bring out the
brightness and presence of a sound. Commonly used on vocal tracks, but also recommended for
stereo drum buses and guitar tracks. For details, see “PC76 U-Type Channel Compressor mode”
on page 935.
• PC4K S-Type Bus Compressor. This is the default mode when using ProChannel on a bus.
This mode is based on the legendary center console stereo bus compressor in one of the world's
most successful analog studio production mixing consoles. Known to add punch and drive to a
mix. Also recommended for instruments like piano and drums. This mode supports sidechaining.
For details, see “PC4K S-Type Bus Compressor mode” on page 937.
To switch modes, click the compressor selector button in the Compressor module.
Note: The PC76 U-Type Channel Compressor is faithfully modelled after the hardware circuitry
of a classic compressor that does not support sidechaining. Consequently, the PC76 U-Type
Channel Compressor does not support sidechaining either. If you need to use sidechaining, use
the PC4K S-Type Bus Compressor mode.
