TC Electronic C-300 Dual Stereo Gate/Compressor

Optimized presetsThe C300 gives you source-based presets that are tailor-made for various types of sources. Depending on the preset you select you have access to intelligent TC full-band- or multi-band technology. The C300s multi-band processing is built on a state-of-the-art TC algorithm that bases its calculations on the incoming source, and thats why its called source-based. A multi-band compressor, as opposed to a full band compressor, acts differently on different frequency bands. This means that each frequency band actually has its own little compressor working on it, with unique settings like threshold, ratio, attack and release. If you for instance prefer a steep compression on the lower frequencies, a soft compression on the mid frequencies, and a bright and light compression on the higher frequencies, you should use a multi-band compressor. The C300 comes with several presets that are fully optimized for this kind of compression and youll be surprised just how easy multi-band compression can be. New style compression an innovative approach to compressionWeve analyzed the decisions that world class engineers make when they compress and compiled them inside the C300, offering you a completely new approach to working with compression. Now you can take a compressed signal and mix it with a dry signal and enhance all details in the music, just by turning the mix knob. Instead of pressing down the signal peaks it preserves all the higher dynamics when you play loud, and at the same time it brings out all the details from the lower end of the signal. Try to apply parallel compression on a drum kit. Youll soon discover that all the lower details are smacked in your face, while still preserving the bells and high dynamics of the snare and cymbals uncompressed, so to speak. And the really cool thing about it is that the C300 makes parallel or new style compression the...
