![]() ![]() Equalization in the Sidechain circuit means that the compressor is not triggered as readily by a loud tom-tom beat as by an equally loud cymbal crash. Assuming the tom-tom is a lower frequency instrument and can be better tolerated by the tape, it has less need for compression. ![]() However, gentle tapping of a drumstick or brushing of the cymbal will not be affected. The equalizer can be adjusted for boost with a peak of about 5kHz, causing the cymbal to be compressed on a very loud crash, stopping tape saturation at high frequencies, where there is less headroom. Then connect the equalizer’s output to the 166XL’s SIDECHAIN INSERT. Split the drum signal, sending one channel directly to the 166XL’s INPUT and the other channel to an equalizer (e.g., dbx’s 20 Series or 30 Series Graphic Equalizer).
