If analog control is not on, the line and mic controls will act as pure gain.
No THD will be added.
Noise and Analog modeling contribute to the specific sound of Chris’s mixes, so
we recommend that you experiment with these two modes engaged.
Input Module
Line controls the input level to the plugin. As gain increases, so will harmonic distortion.
Mic , in addition to line, controls input level. Mic can add as much as 50 dB of input gain,
which can result in internal distortion. Such high input gains will probably not cause output
distortion, will increase THD.
Analog turns the added harmonic distortion off or on.
Analog processing gear adds harmonic distortion, so it’s a key element in recreating the
sound of an analog mixing console.
If you prefer a cleaner, more modern sound, turn off Analog processing. Default = on
Noise turns the added modeled noise off or on.
A small amount of noise contributes to the character of an analog mixing console. For this
reason, we modeled the noise of the Chris’s desk. There may be times when you’ll want to
work without it: for those times, you can switch it off.
Phase flips the input phase by 180 degrees. LP controls the cutoff point of the LP filter.
-20 dB Pad reduces the input level by 20 dB. HP controls the cutoff point of the HP filter.
The collapsed and expanded views of the Input module provide the same control s.
CLA MixHub adds THD in the input stage as well as the output stage, the same
behavior as in mixing desk. Turning Analog off removes all THD from both input
and output. It also removes these from the CPU for better performance and
greater track count.
