Sidechaining the Compressor
压缩器的侧链功能
Sidechaining a compressor allows you to reduce the level of one input source to
make room for another. This is especially useful in live broadcast or application where
music and commentary are happening simultaneously. In recording applications, this
is generally accomplished with careful level automation. Compressor sidechaining
allows you to achieve a similar result without having to ride the faders.
侧链压缩器可以降低一个输入源的电平，以便为另一个输入源腾出空间。这在
现场广播或音乐，以及评论同时进行的应用中，特别有用。在录音应用中，这
通常要很小心来自动化完成。压缩侧链可以让你达到类似的效果，而不需要操
作推子。
Below are two of the most common uses:
以下是两个最常见的用途：
Dialogue Ducking.
This is probably the most well-known compressor sidechaining
application. Consider a common House of Worship situation where the pastor is
leading a meditation while the piano or pre-recorded music is being played. Apply
a compressor on the stereo music track with a fairly low threshold, high ratio, a fast
attack and a long release time, using the pastor’s microphone channel as the key
source for the compressor. Now the compressor will react to level fluctuations from
the pastor’s microphone, allowing the music to naturally rise and fall in counterpoint
to the speech pattern.
这可能是最著名的压缩器侧链应用。考虑到一个常见

Bringing Out the Kick Drum.
In some instances, a synth bass line, or a busy bass
guitar part interferes with the kick drum presence and punch in the mix. For this
application, you will apply a compressor to the bass channel, using the kick drum
channel as the key source, allowing your kick drum to punch through the bass line.
在某些情况下，合成器的低音线或繁忙的低音吉他部分，会干扰踢鼓在混音
中的存在感和冲击力。这种情况下，在低音通道上应用一个压缩器，把踢鼓
通道作为

关键源，让你的踢鼓在低音线中冲出。

Effect Types
效果类型
Your StudioLive mixer is equipped with four stereo effects processors. Each of these
processors has its own aux bus, allowing you to independently control the mix of
channels feeding them. This section will guide you through the basics of several
common effect types.

Reverb and its Parameters
混响和它的参数
Reverberation—or reverb, as it is more commonly known— is perhaps the most
widely used effect. Natural reverb is created by sound waves reflecting off of a
surface or many surfaces. For example, when you walk across the wooden stage
in a large hall, thousands of reflections are generated almost instantaneously as
the sound waves bounce off the floor, walls, and ceilings. These are known as early
reflections, and their pattern provides psycho-acoustic indications as to the nature of
the space that you are in, even if you can’t see it. As each reflection is then reflected
off of more surfaces, the complexity of the sound increases, while the reverb slowly
decays.
