In this mode, when you also use the Auto Level Track function (AUTO IN), the threshold
follows the general level of the signal post the narrow-band-reject-filter, (ie. everything
except the troublesome frequencies).
Furthermore, the crossover controls (in the LISTEN section) have no effect on the signal
because the output of the compressor is already a complete wide-spectrum signal.
Wide-Band Mode
In this mode, the trigger signal (to the compressor sidechain) is the delayed input signal,
and the main compressor signal is the narrow-bandpass-filtered signal.
This mode is useful, for example, when a broad-spectrum trigger is required to trigger
reduction of a specific frequency. One example could be to process a kick drum/bass
combination to reduce a rattle or click whenever the kick occurs.
In this mode, when you also use the Auto Level Track function (AUTO IN), the threshold
follows the general level of the delayed input signal.
Wide-Wide Mode
In this mode, the trigger signal (to the compressor sidechain) and the main compressor
signal are both fed from the delayed input signal. In other words, you now have an
ordinary compressor with no frequency specific sidechain processing.
This mode offers one major advantage over the Oxford Dynamics compressor — you
have a WET/DRY control on the output stage so that you can mix the original signal back
