Applications

Fattening Kick Drums and Compressing Other Drums
Weak, flabby kick drums often have too much boom, and not enough slap. To tighten them up, start with
the 1066 adjusted for a medium to high RATIO (e.g., 6:1), adjust the THRESHOLD control so that the
GAIN REDUCTION meters show 15 dB of gain reduction, then increase the RATIO if necessary. In
OverEasy mode, the 1066 takes slightly longer to react than in Hard Knee mode, and will therefore
emphasize the slap at the beginning of the note and reduce the boominess of its body. The 1066 also
works well for tightening snare drums and tom toms and can be used with drum machines to effectively
alter the character of any electronic drum sound.
Cymbals and tom-toms can be effectively compressed (using the 1066's Sidechain) to help prevent tape
saturation. Use the SIDECHAIN SEND of the 1066 to send a signal to the input of an equalizer (e.g.,
dbx's 242 Parametric Equalizer or the 30 Series Graphic Equalizers). Then connect the equalizer's out-
put to the 1066's SIDECHAIN INSERT. The equalizer can be adjusted for boost with a peak at about
5kHz, causing the cymbal to be compressed on a very loud crash, stopping tape saturation at high fre-
