Using and enjoying the Kultube Summed signal processing
Applications
The main application area for the Kultube is in stereo summed signal compres- | Console: |
sion together with an analog mixing console. | Inserts Send/Return |
Here the Kultube is looped into the insert paths („Insert Send/Return“). |
|
The insert paths are generally in front of the console master fader so that |
|
the compressor is driven independent of the master fader settings. If addi- |
|
tional effects devices (such as EQ) are located in the same insert loop, the |
|
Kultube may be connected either in front or behind – there is no certain order |
|
required. |
|
Single track and subgroup processing
Another important application is single track processing (vocals, bass, | Single tracks and |
guitar, strings etc.). The Kultube is looped in the insert paths of the respec- | subgroups: |
tive channels. Processing is then usually done during mixdown. The same | Channel inserts |
applies of course to subgroup processing for selectively compressing indivi- |
|
dual instrumental groups (such as drums). |
