Anyone ever played with makeup gains in a compressor sidechain?
I'm fooling around with a design that takes the "final" sidechain control voltage, splits it into a second very slow RC integrator using an inverting op amp, then sums that signal back to the control voltage.
I know the time constant of the integrator needs to be "very" long - longer than the release time of the circuit, obviously.. but I don't have a feel for where to start at "very". 2 times the longest release? 4? 10? Any help?
