Mono mode – set the knob in Dual|Mono mode
You can use the two engines in the C300 as two separate mono engines. That means that you can use one engine as e.g. a compressor and the other engine as e.g. a gate. This gives you two completely separate end distinct signals on the mixer. Insert a mono signal to the input in one engine and get a processed signal from the output of the same engine, and do the same with another signal via the other engine. This is great if you want to e.g. compress a vocal on one engine and gate a snare drum on the other engine.

Serial mode – set the knob in Stereo|Serial mode
If you need to work in serial mode then you can e.g. feed a signal to the left-1 input and get the processed signal from the left-1 output. That means that you can take advantage of both engines and e.g. first apply compression and then apply gate on your signal. Of course we’ve made it so you can decide exactly what combination of processing you prefer:

COMPRESSOR – COMPRESSOR
COMPRESSOR – GATE
GATE – COMPRESSOR
GATE – GATE

Stereo mode - set the knob in Stereo|Serial mode
This mode gives you the option to process a complete stereo signal through both engines. Feed a stereo signal into the left-1 and right-2 inputs and take the processed signal from the left-1 and right-2 outputs. As with the serial mode we’ve given you all the choices of what kind of processing you can use on the stereo signal:

COMPRESSOR – COMPRESSOR
COMPRESSOR – GATE
GATE – COMPRESSOR
GATE – GATE

Stereo + Serial mode - set the knob in Stereo|Serial mode
What really makes the C300 stand out from the rest is the Stereo Mode routing feature – it virtually gives you an extra device. Now you can master and limit your stereo full-mix with only one device! Run the signal in stereo through engine 1 and make your e.g. master compression. Then you route your signal through engine 2 which you can then use as an e.g. limiter. This used to be a complex operation, taking 4 devices and quite some work. The C300 makes it simple, fast and easy to compress and limit a stereo full-mix, and the really cool thing is that it can be done on one device only. But off course you can choose any combination of processing you want:

COMPRESSOR – COMPRESSOR
COMPRESSOR – GATE
GATE – COMPRESSOR
GATE – GATE
