OVERVIEW
drum kit, clean up a noisy tape machine, isolate an instrument or
separate a vocal from background noise. Each noise Gate
provides control over Attack, Threshold, Release and Gate
close Range. The Gate close range can be useful in creating a
more natural sounding blend or mix when gating many instruments
at once.
? Comprehensive Channel Linking. Using the Link function
allows you to combine any combination of ACP-88 channels
effectively forming a subgroup. When linked, all processors follow
the setting of the Master processor which is always the processor
furthest to the Left in a Link group. For example, you could Link
together channels 7 and 8 to form a Stereo pair, channels 3, 4
and 5 to form a subgroup of processors, while channels 1, 2 and
6 remain available for independent applications such as
compression, limiting, or gating as the situation dictates.
? Separate Bypass and Gain for Every Channel. Each Channel
has a separate Bypass for auditioning a signal before and after??
processing with the compressor, limiter, or the Gate and a Gain
control to make up any loss in signal level resulting from the
amount of compression being applied.
? Compressor Sidechain Jack on Every Channel. Each
channel of your ACP-88 was designed with a special jack for
spectral processing, compression keying and ducking
applications. Sidechaining is useful for removing annoying
sibilance from vocal tracks (de-essing) or automatically ducking
tracks behind a narrator for ?auto mixing? a service, broadcast or
performance. When multiple channels are Linked together, the
Send of the Sidechain jack of the Master channel contains a
mix of all the channels in the Link: a very cool feature allowing
control over multiple channels of processing with one Sidechain
send/return. (See the section on Sidechaining for application
notes.)
