I Struggled Until I Knew THIS About the API 2500 Bus Compressor

This video is an extension of my previous one about the API further explaining the THRUST detector in greater detail!!


Who knew it was all in the THRUST? I guess all those years spent on those sites weren't for nothing... Read Your Manuals!!

This video outlines a specific function of this compressor, and how it changes the interaction of the detection circuit with the incoming signal. Please understand that even though I did not say it exactly like this - I am assuming we all know that lower frequencies have more energy than higher frequencies so when I invert the gain of the tilt to flatten it, that is because it's how the incoming signal is hitting the threshold of the compressor. Higher frequencies are lower in energy/volume and require less volume to be heard/detected than lower frequencies, therefore I represent this on the graph (PRO Q4) by tilting negative values to gain perspective on why the THRUST! is effective.
