When
disabled,
the
Sidechain
Filter
allows
the
Input
AGC
to
react
to
the
full
audio
spectrum.
When
enabled,
it
utilizes
a
hidden
and
non-‐adjustable
parametric
equalizer
and
causes
the
Input
AGC
to
become
less
sensitive
and
reactive
to
very
low
frequencies
and
a
particular
range
of
upper-‐mid
frequencies.
The
default
(and
recommended)
setting
for
this
control
is
"On"
to
ensure
the
Input
AGC
is
not
controlled
by
the
bass
or
by
strong
female
vocals.
