Hi,
I’ve read around the forum to try to find something to enlighten me in regards to my confusion, but I couldn’t find anything.
My confusion is caused by the threshold on the compressor of the RYTM when I have the compressor mix set to 100%.
At this setting and the threshold untouched (in theory, not low enough for the compressor to become engaged) the output signal is still reduced?
I thought this may be because the signal going into the compressor is too high already and thus engaging the compressor even though the threshold is at max. However, lowering the input signal considerably still doesn’t stop the signal from being reduced when setting mix to 100%.
I’m thinking that the threshold being so sensitive would make the workings of the attack and release on the compressor pretty redundant. Therefore, there must be something else going on surely?
Is the signal reduced simply by running it through that pathway regardless of the engagement of the compressor? My understanding is that gain reduction would only take place on signals above threshold.
I’m confused.
Any clarity on this would be great.
Cheers all.
