I created a setup last night that has a mono grand piano on zone 1
and livemode on zone 2. The compressor in KDFX is great!
I run my vocal mic thru the mixer preamp and send to the KDFX compressor, the piano and vocals feed into the AuxReverb.
(I don't like the sound of a compressed piano)
I assigned SW1 to toggle C4 (for livemode to work)

The ribbon controlls the vocal pitch live! 8)

I'm slowly but surely learning KDFX :)

?Question about compressors:
Is there a web page that explains typical compression ratio settings for different applications like vocals, bass, guitar, stereo mixes (multiband)
:?:
