3 a.m.
I could not get any noticeable function trying the sidechain inputs of
these (I forget if it was specifically SC2 or 3 or 4 but could see the
inputs in Jack-Rack)
I ran jack from Qjackctl, Ardour and jack-rack. Inserted SC3 into
jack-rack. All routing was done from Qjackctl "Connect" interface. Tried
every way to Sunday and could not get any effect except "makeup gain".
Then I tried just patching SC2 then SC3, etc as inserts direct into an
audio channel in Ardour for straight compression. Could not get them to
do any standard compressing either.
Any thoughts or illumination on these compressors would be great. I
particularly want to run a "de essing" of sorts on a single mike imput.
Is it possible with these plugs??
Thanks

If your audio is comming in at quite a low level you may not hear anything
- this is a thinko on my part, analogue compressors expect signals > 0dB,
but in digital systems this is unusual, so the range of the threshold is a
bit narrow. A future release will have a lower min range.

Tried this out...
Jack-rack complains that it's not setup for realtime operation. It does
work but it's very clippy. Also seems to create lots of crackles and
pops. Shame, because this is almost like an all-in-one sidechain comp
and eq combo. If the response could be smoothed out some and the plug
made to work effectively in realtime mode it could be very useful.
The TAP-eq is smoothe! Also like the stereo version of Gverb.

Sorry, must have missed it first time tound. They do work (SC4 is used in
JAMin), try setting low attach and decay times, winding the threshold right
down the ratio right up and the knee to the middle and the peak/rms to
peak.

You will need to add a bandpass filter to the sidechain input, set to
around 4kHz (try moving it about), run the input audio into the
bandpass/sidechain and the main ins.
