Hi,

I want to mix dry signal to the compressed signal...
jakob posted a nice mod some time ago, but if you mix
it in the circuit itself, output gain always affects the wet/dry mix setting...

so my idea is to build a simple stepped attenuator around the circuit...
you can set a certain leve of dry signal and adjust the mix with the output gain pot...

the signal goes form the xlr-input to the attenuator to the output-xlr

I have some 2x5 dual stepped switches here... so there will be 4 attenuated steps + off setting... -10db , -6db , -3db , 0

there's a nice java app that calculates the resistance for each step...

but does anybody know at what total resistance I should start??
50k, 100k ??


thanks,
matthias
 
hey mathias, i like your idea...check this

did you ever get your high pass filter happening in your ssl?

If so, I would be interested in hearing more about how that worked out and if you are digging it.

thanks.

thank you...

yes, the sidechain is working, but I didn't use the 200hz 12db filter....
there's a much more easier solution for this...
I'll post it when I'm at home... (I'm still @ work)
