4 Analog Processing
_RHEA is true stereo compressor – that means that detector circuits of each channel are working on a
summed signal in the side chain circuit. This makes it impossible to work in dual mono mode – we can’t
process two independent tracks on each channel simultaneously – like kick and snare for example.
However, it is entirely possible to work with only one mono channel at a time.
This Chapter in depth describes the analog nature of _RHEA.
4.1 Sound
Vari-mu style compression offers a very natural and musical sound. This characteristic often tempts
users to apply high levels of gain reduction, which is perfectly fine. However, there’s a tradeoff to consider:
pushing the compressor too hard can lead to tube overload, especially with highly dynamic content, resulting in
audible distortion. While this effect can be desirable for certain material, like drums with high peaks and fast
transients, it may not suit other sources. It’s important to note that this distortion occurs with very aggressive
settings and is due to the behavior of the tubes, not the unit's headroom. Be mindful of this when applying
extreme compression.
4.2 THUMP?
"Thump" or "thumping" in vari-mu compressors is a distinctive effect that occurs when side-chain
control voltage leaks into the audio signal, typically due to a slight imbalance in the tubes. This can introduce
additional low-end artifacts to the processed signal, which might be desirable in certain situations as it
enhances the low-frequency content. However, for quieter or more delicate material, this effect can become
noticeable and potentially unwanted. Although all our tubes undergo thorough pairing and parameter checks,
minor differences can still result in this effect. In such cases, we recommend increasing the input signal and
experimenting with the attack and release settings to manage the thumping effect.
4.3 INPUT, OUTPUT and THRESHOLD?
_RHEA offers control over three key parameters: the input level (Input), the amount of compression
applied (Threshold), and the final output level (Output). This setup provides excellent flexibility in shaping
the source material. The Threshold control can be subtle in effect, but if more compression is needed, the
Input knob can be adjusted to achieve this. Additionally, all of these parameters are automatable, allowing
you to make dynamic changes throughout different sections of a song.
