Solid-State
Based on early VCA transistor based hardware compressors, the Solid-State
mode can give a clear but aggressive compression sound distinguished by the
very fast attack and nonlinear release times characteristic of the original hard-
ware units. With its own unique harmonic coloration, Solid-State can be a great
mode for accentuating vocal transients.
Note: Leave RMS detection OFF to allow the Solid-State mode to react in a
much quicker ‘peak’ detection mode to make the pleasing vocal sound of this
algorithm more present.
Available Parameter ranges
Ratio: 4:1 – 12:1
Attack: 0.20 – 80ms
Release: 50 – 1200ms
Mix
This control will allow you to blend how much of each signal’s audio is output
from the module. In single compressor mode, the mix control can be used to
blend between the first compressor and the dry (uncompressed) audio passing
through the module. In dual-compressor mode, the mix control can be used to
blend between the first and second compressor.
