3) As a 'subgroup' compressor
When recording with a number of microphones it's often an advantage to create a separate
mix of say drums, or guitars, and compress them together either as a mono or a stereo mix.
The C2 is particularly suitable for this. The microphones are mixed as a subgroup in the
mixer, then the subgroup output (often an auxiliary output) is connected to the input of the
C2. The output of the C2 is connected back into an auxiliary input of the mixer.
4) As a mixdown compressor
This is possibly the most likely use for the C2. Connect the output of your mixer or soundcard
to the input of the C2. Connect the output of the C2 to your mastering recorder. Listen to the
compressed signal by monitoring the output of your mastering recorder.
MONO OPERATION
The Joemeek C2 compressor is designed primarily as a stereo compressor, but there is no
reason why it cannot be used as a mono compressor. To use it in stereo, simply connect to
the left and right stereo inputs and outputs. To use the C2 in MONO mode, connect the
signal source to the left input and connect the output from the left output. When using the
compressor in mono mode, operate the 'compression' control at or near maximum.
CAUTION! Do not attempt to use the C2 as two separate mono compressors. The results will
be unpredictable because of the internal M&S coding and decoding circuits.
