Avalon Vt-737sp Operation Manual
5.0 Applications
The first thing to remember is that there are no
specific rules. The Vt-737sp was designed to
be extremely versatile and filled with endless
colors, textures and tones. So check it out and
let your ears gyide your way.
5.1 Typical Setups
Much of the power in the Vt-737sp lies within
its flexibility. The Vt-737sp can be used in every
stage of the recording process: direct record-
ing, mixdown, and mastering. The following
setup diagrams are a few ways to set up the
Vt-737sp in for recording, mixdown and mas-
tering.
Figure 5.1.1 - Recording - direct to Digital Audio
frequency only in the side-chain path and no
longer hear the harsh “sss” sound in the audio
path.
At the same path time it now makes the com-
pressor 10db to 15db more sensitive at the
frequency you selected and boosted by +10 to
+15dB (on the HIGH MID). The gain reduction
meter should show -3dB to -10dB or more at
the “sss” frequencies only.
Now you can go back and switch the
SC->MIDS out and sweep and listen and also
work with the VU meter readings to pin-point
the exact amount of desired de-ess. Remember
to always trust your ears.
10. For enhanaced compression and control
you can use the LOW MID band to cut -15dB at
around 150Hz with the Q and X10 buttons out.
This will allow the compressor to pass the low
frequency through without attenuating the level
at these lower frequencies. This can be called
spectral compression as you are changing the
spectral content of the music material at
ajdusted levels and frequency. You are creating
your own special frequency selective curve in
the side-chain and this directly reflects the way
the compressor reacts.
11. You can leave the EQUALIZER switch in,
this leave the TREBLE and BASS bands in the
audio path for extra sweetening. You can also
press in the EQ->COMP switch to put the
TREBLE and BASS bands before the compres-
sor for extra effects.
