RED RMSC 2.0 - Ring-Modulation Sidechain Max for Live Device

What is the RED RMSC ?

This device is an algorithmic ring-modulation based sidechain effect, also known as RMSC (Ring-Mod SideChain).

The concept of this method is to substract the signal coming from the side chain to the incomming signal, to leave it room to stand out in the mix without affecting the peaks of the final sound. It is usually used in combination with the usual compression based method, which you can get with my compressor from the Customs Vol. 1 Pack (available on my shop) or with any other compression plugin.

How does it work ?

Here is a visual representation of what really happens into the device in 3 steps with a kick and a bass :

1. | The signal comming from the side chain gets rectified (it goes from bipolar to unipolar) :

Before (side chain signal) :

After (rectified signal) :

2 | The rectified signal from the side chain then gets substracted from the incomming signal :

Before (incomming signal) :

After (side chain signal removed) :

3 | Both signals can be combined without any unwanted peaks :

Side chain signal :

Processed signal :

Perfect kick & bass relation :
