SCENARIOS - MS Linked
MS Linked
The function of the compressor in linked MS mode is quite similar to its
function in linked Stereo mode. The time parameters are set with the
controllers on the left side of the unit, and the resulting Gain reduction
in the middle and the side channel will be exactly the same.
The gured settings are a good starting position for many pop and rock
tracks: the Attack time of 30-40ms ensures that transients from percus-
sion instruments will hardly be compressed, while the Release time of
250ms lets the compressor decrease its Gain reduction fast enough.
Variations of the Release time are especially eective in controlling the
attained amount of loudness. Here, activating the Auto Fast function
should be preferred to setting a very fast Release time.
The generated Gain reduction is primarily aected by matching the
Threshold and Ratio parameters. A Ratio of 1:1,7 has often proved to be
a good start.
But what is the essential advantage of the linked MS mode compared
to the linked Stereo mode? The levels of M and S can be set dierently,
which makes it very easy to perform changes of the stereo width (Mix
too narrow? More gain to the side channel. Not enough punch? Add
gain to the middle). Furthermore, a left/right drift caused by possible
unequal settings of the Gain controllers is impossible in this mode.
