Here are some typical applications for the 3630:
• Even out a vocalist's dynamics to compensate for poor mic or vocal
technique.
• Increase a guitar's (or other stringed instrument's) sustain.
• Smooth out bass sounds for a more consistent level.
• Prevent peaks common in many source signals, such as drums, from
overloading tape during recording.
• Minimize the chance of speaker burnout by inserting a limiter prior
to the power amp.
• Decrease a signal's dynamic range to accommodate a recording
medium with a more limited dynamic range (e.g., process a master
tape mixed for CD duplication when making cassette copies to ac-
commodate the cassette's limited dynamic range).
• In PA applications, limiting can increase a vocalist's level before
feedback occurs.
• Reduce sharp signal peaks associated with some signal processors and
highly resonant synthesizer patches.
• Remove hiss from tape, guitar amps, etc. with the noise gates.
• Use the noise gate to "key" one instrument's rhythm to another in-
strument.
• Use the sidechain to remove excessive sibilance from vocals and nar-
ration (commonly known as "de-essing").
• Use the sidechain for lowering background music or other program
material in the prescence of narration (commonly known as duck-
ing).
