Summed signal processing
The main application area for the Kultube is in stereo summed signal compres-
sion together with an analog mixing console.
Here the Kultube is looped into the insert paths („Insert Send/Return“).
The insert paths are generally in front of the console master fader so that
the compressor is driven independent of the master fader settings. If addi-
tional effects devices (such as EQ) are located in the same insert loop, the
Kultube may be connected either in front or behind – there is no certain order
required.
Single track and subgroup processing
Another important application is single track processing (vocals, bass,
guitar, strings etc.). The Kultube is looped in the insert paths of the respec-
tive channels. Processing is then usually done during mixdown. The same
applies of course to subgroup processing for selectively compressing indivi-
dual instrumental groups (such as drums).
