Pro-C3 is awesome and I'm starting to use it for and and all compression now, so thanks Fabfilter, your rock!
Does anyone understand and can explain to me the numbers in db that the character mode has? It has -24db to +24db, but it doesn't make sense to me - changes this big should be drastic, but any way I use those, the differences are all subtle.
I've read the manual too and it's kinda cryptic as well there.
Thanks!
PS:
This is what it says in the manual:
The Character button right below the Style button opens the Character panel with the following settings:
Character mode sets the type of analog saturation, color and drift. You can choose between Off (disabled), Tube, Diode and Bright. All three options have their own character and introduce different harmonics and coloring. Try them!
Drive sets the level at which the saturation circuit is driven internally which affects the amount of saturation and harmonics.
Routing determines whether saturation takes place before (Pre) or after compression is applied (Post). By default, it's set to Post, which will nicely saturate transients that remain when applying compression with higher attack values. When set to Pre, the signal and peaks in the input will be saturated before compression, which results in a wholly different character.
