Description
Rough Rider 3 is a character compressor built for intense dynamic range compression.
It adds punch and warmth to audio signals, making it perfect for drums and electronic beats.
You can also use it on guitars, basslines, and vocals for unique effects.
Rough Rider 3 has an external sidechain input and a high-pass filter in the side-chain signal path to clean up the trigger signal.
It includes a "full bandwidth" mode that turns off the internal low-pass filters for a clearer sound.
The interface offers input and output gain controls, gain reduction metering, input and output volume metering, and volume graphs.
Tips
- Use the external sidechain input to trigger compression from an external audio source.
- Apply the high-pass filter in the side-chain signal path to avoid erratic compression caused by loud bass frequencies.
- Switch to full bandwidth mode for a clearer sound when needed.
- Utilize the input and output gain controls to manage signal levels effectively.
- Monitor gain reduction and volume levels using the provided metering tools.
- Experiment with Rough Rider 3 on different types of tracks, including drums, basslines, guitars, and vocals, to discover unique compression effects.
