Sidechain Vocals to Reverb in H9000?

[wvought]

I’ve gotten into the habit of sidechaining vocals to a compressor on my reverb send in Cubase. Easy to set up, and it causes the reverb to duck when a vocal phrase starts. The reverb then blooms when the vocal phrase stops.

Is this possible in the H9000?

Thanks.

Try this:

Thanks.

But (oops) I think I should have specified that my intended use in this case is sending a stem (analog) out from my interface, then to the H9000, then to a summing mixer. So the H9000 would be used as an insert, not a send, which I think rules out using a sidechained compressor.

Hmm, I guess I don’t understand your signal chain/intent.  Insert on just the vocals, yeah?

Yes, but I think my original question was a bit lame. I should just use a send within my DAW.

You could build a chain with a compressor feeding a reverb in the H9000, the same way. Just use a third buss input as the side chain.

Alternatively I built a dynamic send algorithm that can send to different algorithms depending on the signal level.

I could modify it to have an external side chain pretty easily, if you think it would be useful.

Theres a sidechain compressor algorithm you can check out here: https://www.eventideaudio.com/forums/topic/dual-stereo-sidechain-compressor/

Alternatively, there are many ducked delay algorithms that you may find useful for this.

Thanks to all who responded. It will be next week before I really have a chance to look into all of this.

I tend to find I/O routing difficult to understand, so please bear with me. 🙂
