Is it possible? Without geting the Preamp signal of the 737? I can't see how, but someone mentioned it to me once. Theres only Line Out and a compressor mono link 1/4" jack on the 737. I'm trying to maybe link the 737 up to the Great River 1NV, and use the GR pre and the 737 EQ.

Also, another easy question, if i want to hook up a RNC to the GR, I just use a TRS---TRS cable, running Patch Out on the GR to the Sidechain on the RNC?

Pretty simple questions, but I want to make sure.
 
I'll answer my own damn post.

NO you can't patch the EQ out of the 737 without getting the preamp signal and YES that is how you sidechain the RNC to your GR.

Now was that so hard???? Why I ask such childish questions is beyond Dr Hapsburg. :rolleyes:

That is how you sidechain but I don't think that word means what you think it means. You should run the GR inserts to the input on the RNC.
 
Boeings have always yielded me an f'd up sound. I prefer puddlejumpers.

Thanks Tex for this thread and the other one where I was misleading someone else with my misinformation about sidechain. You say it's a trigger? Like on my 737, it has a button that says SC-->mids (sidechain mids), it lets you pick the freq. that gets shot over to the compressor for de-essing I was told. Interesting.....
 
Yeah they work the same way. You would usually use a copy of the signal run through an EQ and you boost the freqencies that you want to trigger the compressor. Or you can feed it a different signal that would duck the original track whenever the trigger track kicks in. It's good for compressing the bass and using the kick as the trigger.
 
So you would run the kick signal into the sidechain of the Comp that the bass was going through and it would compress everytime the kick hit?

Yep. You can do all sorts of cool things like compress a wet delay or reverb track and have it be triggered by the dry track. That way the part can be upfront but still have a lot of decay when it stops.
