Channel 2: Snare
DYNAMICS Comp
EQ (ATT –8 dB)
Channels 3/4: Drum overhead
mics
These tracks contain the cymbals and toms. By adding
a 3.5 dB boost to the HIGH 14.2 kHz region we will
clarify the metallic edge. By lowering the H-MID
157 Hz region by 6.5 dB we give a light touch to the
snare sound that is also recorded on these tracks.
1
Press the channel 3 [SEL] key to select the
overhead mic channel.
2
Press the MIXER section [DYN] key to
access the dynamics parameters.
3
In the TYPE area, “Compander-Soft”
should be selected (the default setting).
Move the cursor to “ON/OFF” and turn
dynamics “ON” for the selected channel.
4
Use the CURSOR keys and the [DATA/JOG]
dial to make the following dynamics set-
tings for the overhead mic channels. (Since
channels 3 and 4 are paired, adjusting the
EQ on track 3 will automatically make the
same setting on track 4.)
