Hey to everyone!
Due to my Bachelor thesis I'm working on a Waves C4 kind of dynamic EQ, which I'd like to share with you. Also it would be nice to get a second opinion on everything, so you're kindly asked to critize the sh*t out of my schematics! ;D
But be warned: I don't study electronical engineering and have just little knowledge about electronics. So it might just be garbage... I always read your discussions on different topics from which I don't get half and it would be great, if you could give me some advice. Here are some screenshots from eagle.
A pretty much standart debalancing Input section and an amplification circuit with gain=3 for three targets (VCA, SC, SC - Does gain make sense here?):
Then we got electronical crossovers. Now, the idea is to be able to turn one pot (just like in the C4 plugin) and change two filters: the high cut of the lower band and the low cut of the higher band. Of course, both have to cut within same frequency range.
After that there is the dynamics section. My idea is to use both Sidechain inputs on a That 2180 and to make one of the Sidechains starting points changeable. With that in mind, only the difference between the two Sidechain signals should lead to a dynamic change in gain at the 2180. Now, there are two obvious problems I'm facing:
1. The That 2252 was discontinued (I started in late november but didn't realize it until now )
2. In its datasheets it is not specified on how to change its input sensitivity. There is an example where it's configured for -10dBV, and so is it in my schematics, but I don't get where they got that from. Maybe I'm just a little too unexperienced or blind, but I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me with this! (I assumed it has to be the input resistor, but please, tell me if I'm wrong!)
Last but not least, there is a summing amp. I tried to find data about how to scale the summing resistors, but didn't succeed. Any advice? IC24 has already been kicked out.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks to everyone in advance and to all the makers of this forum. It's a great community!
