Stereo and Mono Sidechain Compressors for Tracktion

Example 2: Compressor triggering from the same track

Tracktion's wonderful rack filter system lets you make the key input the same as your main input. One application for this, is to make a De-Esser to get rid of high "Ssss" sounds on vocal tracks. Dedicated De-Essers have more fine features and controls, but this will give you a basic functioning model.

Setting up the Key Input to be the same as the main input, but with an EQ

1. Set up the rack filter on track 1 (for example), as shown on page 8.

2. Drop a new filter inside the rack filter (instead of to the right of the track), and choose an EQ.

3.Inside the rack filter, hook up the left and right inputs, to the left and right inputs of the EQ.
