Request: Pro C-2, more in depth documentation
Hi,
I'm curious about the technical differences between modes.
For instance what is the difference between Master and Clear?
And could you tell us some thing about this "special algorithm" in vocal mode?
I assume it's mainly different attack and release characteristics, but what are these characteristics and what other tricks are used?

yes this would be good. i prefer to have some technical insight into what a plugin is doing where possible. if i dont know, fine, i can use my ears but i prefer to use a combination of subjective and objective knowledge when working with audio. if i know less about a pluging i will tend to use it less in situations where i need a more technical approach.
Hi Avon,
We have fairly detailed descriptions of the different compression styles here:
www.fabfilter.com/help/pro-c/using/dynamicscontrols
We don't want to go any further into the technical implementation of these styles. We think it's better to trust your ears and listen, and also we consider the implementation details for our painstakingly developed algorithms to be a "trade secret". :-)
Cheers,
