GET TO KNOW RFC-VCA
Small details.
Big possibilities.
Reach for a control.
See where it takes the track.
Let the kick lead
Use the external sidechain to duck a bass, pad, or bus from another track. The gate follows the selected key source too.
Turn up the character
VCA Drive brings more harmonic colour as you turn it up, while leaving the detector threshold unchanged. Use Output to keep comparisons level.
Keep the pauses intentional
Threshold and Rate shape the gate. Reverse changes the direction; a 1:1 compressor ratio leaves gate operation available.
Access forbidden. Curiosity encouraged.
Open Character to find OVERDRIVE ACCESS FORBIDDEN. In Help, type UNLOCK OVERDRIVE and press Enter to reveal warm saturation after compression. Turn it up to taste, then match levels with Output.

A FEW PLACES TO START
Give the groove some gravity.
Make room for the kick
Insert it on a bass or pad, route a kick to the sidechain, select External, then set the release to fit the groove.
Glue a drum bus
Choose a softer knee and moderate ratio. Work the threshold until the drum performance begins to move together.
Tighten a rhythmic part
Use the gate to shape space between hits. Try Reverse for a different response to the key signal.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Can the kick boss the rest of the track around?
Yes. Route another track to the sidechain input in your DAW and choose External. Your DAW handles the routing; your kick handles the unsolicited opinions.
Does Dual Mono mean twice as many knobs?
Same visible settings, independent left and right detection. Stereo Link uses a shared detector level. Two ears, one very tidy control panel.
How do I keep the punch?
Start with a slower Attack to let the front of a hit through, then set Release to follow the groove. Use Output to compare the result at a matching level.
How do I compare two sounds?
Use A and B to hold two settings, then Copy to carry your current sound across. Both slots and your interface size save with the project. A little perspective for your next turn.
