MEET THE
STEREO VCA COMPRESSOR
The Chameleon Labs 7721 provides all the classic controls alongside additional potent artillery generally only deployed by esoteric compressors.
Peak/RMS Detection toggles the compressors behavior between Peak, for rapid instantaneous voltage signals like snare hits, horn stabs, hand claps, dynamic singers and the world’s most irritating instrument to record, the Triangle, while RMS responds to the average energy in the signal, perfect for the mix buss, bass, drum loops, guitars and background vocals.
Side Chain engages the Highpass Filter which only feeds the detector circuit (not your audio path) thus letting more bottom end through while controlling the mid and upper energy to make Hip Hop, Rock and EDM pulse.
Dry/Wet Blend lets you mix the original signal with the compressed signal "for instant parallel-like processing." This will preserve the transients, while simultaneously taming the track.
Soft/Hard Knee lets you switch between a gentler compression onset and a faster onset more akin to limiting. Experiment and trust your ears...and ultimately, how it makes you feel.
