IVORY5 DYN EQ (IAE-4) DETAILS:
As in the Cobalt Dynamic Eq, this a new kind of Dynamic Equalizer.
When the Dyn EQ button is engaged, if the signal is above the threshold level of the
compressor and exceeds the RANGE control value, then up to the maximum of the
equalization curve is applied to the signal, depending on the indicated Gain Reduction
value.
Increasing the OUTPUT control of the EQ section generates an “EXPANDER” function;
this is why we deemed it unnecessary to add an extra EXPAND mode in this plugin.
As previously explained, the Threshold control sets the threshold level for compression;
then, if the signal exceeds the Range value, the Dynamic EQ is triggered. The RANGE
control lets you easily adjust the range of the dynamic eq action by setting the maxi-
mum amount of applied gain change.
NB: When the Dyn EQ button is engaged, the MIX control disappears.
This Dyn EQ is a great choice for de-essing (use our PRESETS*)
Here’s an interesting usage:
- apply a Reverb to a Voice track via a Send bus;
- insert an instance of IAE-4 in external sidechain mode after the Reverb processor;
- send a signal from the Voice track also to the SC input of IVORY5DYNEQ;
- cut the mid frequencies creating a sort of “smile”curve;
- the voice suddenly jumps in front of the mix, but the Reverb is still present.
- A frequency Conscious “Ducking” SIDECHAIN scenario
Here’s another classic usage for the external SideChain:
- insert IVORY5DYNEQ in the Bass track;
- send the signal from the Kick Drum track to the SC input of IVORY5DYNEQ;
- set the eq so that it cuts out from the Bass the most prominent range of frequencies
of the Kick Drum;
- adjust the compressor so that it applies the frequency cut to the Bass track only when
the Kick Drum is played;
- refine the compressor settings to taste (Ratio, Threshold, Attack and Release times, etc.);
and – voilà - any frequency clash in the bass region is eliminated, yet Bass and the Kick
Drum are both still present and audible in the mix.
