Someone should just make a two channel box that only does parallel compression.

Now if I can only find out how Katz did his K-Stereo technique before his DD-2.....

Yes that would be kool. He discussed this box on the Glenn Meadows forum, and eventually posted a link to his U.S. patent. I looked it up..... and it is hard to understand through the way it is worded. From what I could make out, it uses some combination of difference channel prcessing, combines with discreet delays and possible phase manipulation along with parallel processing. Something to do with amience extraction and enhancement of what is already in the recording



Heres a link to the patent
