Cross talk

Post by Merah »

Ive heard the term thrown around a bit here but have no idea what it is. I was using the new Klanghelm ivgi saturator and noticed it had a crosstalk knob. Didnt seem to do anything.

Crosstalk is when channels bleed, with something like Satson/Britson the buss plugins will add an element of crosstalk from all the channels coming in to it. It can add depth and width to a mix.

With ivgi I think it just allows the left and right to bleed in to each other.

A bit like parallel processing then? If i had a guitar channel and a bass channel both with there own distortion they would share a bit of the processing? Sounds cool and intriguing.

Not really. With ivgi it literally means the left and right channel will bleed in to each other, probably pre saturation. So depending on how the output sums then it could lead to a sort of chorus type widening. With Satson then it is obviously a much more complex bleed, but it's not like sharing processing it is just the already processed channel signals bleeding in to one another at the sum, not at the channels.
