    2.1. At a glance ThrillseekerLA – limiting and leveling amplifier ThrillseekerLA is a digital stereo leveling amplifier with truly analog qualities. It not only offers highly program dependent and musical sounding compression behavior but also implements a sophisticated non-linear amplifier stage based upon an accur- ate stateful non-linear model.

    2 Overview 2.2. Reference Main parameters MIX LEVEL – If the DAW mixing process is performed at -18dB this option allows to adjust the plug-ins internal gain staging accordingly. SC FILTER – This sidechain filter is modeled after a well known hardware unit and attenuates low frequencies while boosting the HF department at the same time.

    Reference OUTPUT – A plain linear output amplification control. ON – A true bypass switch in (when in off mode). The interstage section INTERSTAGE - This activates the interstage section of the compressor which is a sophisticated non-linear amplifier stage. It is based on a stateful non-linear model which provides very smooth sounding harmonic distortion.

    2 Overview 800+ Hz – This works mainly on the 800 to 1000 Hz range and can greatly • contribute to the presence of bass instruments. 2-5 kHz – A great option to improve the presence and intelligibility of vocal •...

    2.6. About SC linking Linking both channels in the sidechain path can be important on the stereo bus and is handled in two different ways within ThrillseekerLA, internally. The sophisticated linking algorithm maintains the natural transient response in the stereo field but also reduces problematic stereo image shifts in higher gain reduction scenarios.

    2 Overview Note: A true dual mono mode is not supported (two completely uncorrel- ated signals on channel 1 and 2). However, since there is no two channel parameter layout offered in the interface this would not makes sense any- way.
