Setup & Activate The Dynamics Sidechain Link - Studer Vista 1 Operating Instructions Manual

Vista 1 Digital Mixing System
4.4.3.7 Setup & Activate the Dynamics Sidechain link
4-34 GC Operation
The effect of a Dynamics Sidechain Link, if activated, is identical to any item
of outboard gear set to Link or Stereo mode. This function is used to control
between two and eight Dynamics Processors inserted into up to eight different
channels. Regard less of which channel is carrying the highest signal level,
all processors will provide the same gain modification. In this way, Stereo or
Multi-channel Surround image stability will be preserved. Unlike in many
analog consoles with dynamics units, the channels to be linked do not need
to have adjacent locations.
Note:
The number of Sidechain Links available (if any) is determined by the cur-
rently loaded configuration.
To activate the Sidechain Link for a selected channel, check the Enable
Sidechain Link box. This will activate linking of the Sidechain with another
channel, or with other channels assigned to that particular Link Group. The
channel must be assigned to a Link Group in order for the Enable Sidechain
Link box to function. The SCL (Sidechain Link) keys on the Vistonics will
follow the selections.
The status of the Sidechain Link is saved within snapshots and presets.
