Hi,
I’m currently experimenting with an external bass pre-amp (hardware/tube), which can do up to heavy compression/distortion. So I wired up input and output to my interface and started to look at transfer based on x-y-plot osci. But due to phase shifts by the built in eq, it’s not straigt forward for get an idea of the amplitude compression behavior. The graph as shown in compressor plugins based on envelopes would be perfect. Therefore, I’m wondering if it’s possibe to connect the compressor plugin graphs to external signals (input+sidechain) ?
I’m asking the community, if something like this is feasible at all with one of the existing plugins?
What nodes in signal chain (in plugin connection manager) do the graphs connect to and show ? Are they hardwired? Basically, is there a way to get channel input on x-axis (as usual), but map a sidechain signal (the actual output of my external pre-amp) on the y-axis, where normally output is sensed?
Are there other plugins / tools, which can do something like this on Linux?
Are there ready-to-run envelope follower plugins I could use to shape the signls before routing into an osci pluging set up for x-y plotting?
Regards,
Toby
