can the sidechain inputs of these behringers be used to control the gate kicking in?

awesome. picking one up from work for £34 tomorrow.  I was aiming at an Alesis 3630, but the price difference is significant for me at the moment! big_smile Thanks all!

Anyone comment on Alesis 3630 vs. the Behringers?

Had the mdx2000 many years ago, pumping sidechain was no problem smile

yep i just wanted to confirm the fact. cheers for the info also!

yep, thats what sidechain is for...this is what i was talking about

Tame That Frequency: A Band-Sensitive Compressor

You can also use a sidechain to tune a compressor so that it’s most effective around certain frequencies. This is essentially the concept behind a de-esser. To use a compressor in this way, feed a heavily EQ’d version of the track in question into your compressor’s sidechain input.

For instance, if you had a bass with one particularly out-of-control note, or a singer whose voice sounds overwhelming in a certain range, you could use an EQ to emphasize those frequencies, and then send that signal into the sidechain input. Conversely, if the low frequency content of a signal is causing a compressor to go haywire, a sidechain EQ can ensure that it only reacts to mid-frequency content.

Fortunately, many modern-style plugin compressors, like Pro Tools’ Dynamics III have a sidechain EQ feature like this built right in, and need no extra routing to achieve this effect. But if you want to use a vintage-style plugin or piece of hardware, getting up and running is not difficult at all.

If you think it through, you’ll come to realize that this kind of band-sensitive approach lies at the root of any multiband compressor. In fact, using sidechains and duplicate channels, you could feasibly create a multiband processor out of just about any plugin compressor you own.

but e.s.c; the sidechain in indeed can be used to automate the level of the affected signal, yes? I thought if so itd be more apparent from the front controlls and rear i/o's. But it isnt!

i had the 1600, if i remember, the sidechain out was sort of intended for situations where one might want the main signal as run through an eq or processor for the sidechain input

I don't have experience with it specifically, but it seems so yes. Just send your "trigger" sound, such a steady kick drum to the sidechain input, and it will initiate the "ducking" volume on your master stereo signal you have going through it. I am not sure why there is a sidechain output though, I have not seen that before. I guess if you wanted to send a signal out to trigger something else at the same time, you could use the sidechain output.

Hey guys, anyone have experience with this dynamics processor? I was wondering if the sidechain input it features allows for sidechain compression / ducking of the lvel of the affected signal? I cant find any explicit references to what the sidechain in / out is for, seems to be part of some kind of send / return loop.

Can It make mah bass pump?!
