Voltage Controlled Amplifier Explained

This entry aims to explain how a voltage controlled amplifier works. It is a device that can modify the amplitude of a signal. This device involves two types of inputs: the carrier and the modulator. The carrier, also known as the signal input, is where the bipolar input comes in. The modulator, also known as…

VCA Compressors

Voltage-controlled amplifiers, also known as VCA compressors, have the fastest response of the attack and release parameters. VCAs usually have less coloration than optical or tube compressors. In addition, they are fairly similar to digital tape in terms of recording. This type of compressors are cheaper than tube or optical compressors. Voltage-controlled amps provide the…
