• You may also want to give it a little more presence. This may be achieved
by boosting the mid frequencies. Try using the Midrange Bell band for this
(remember that we said it was even called "Presence" in the original). For better
results, you first have to change the base frequency to a higher value (maybe
around 1.6k). Since this is a sweeping control, you can adjust it later to find your
"sweet spot".
• Now give this band a boost of 3dB, for example. Always pay attention to the VU
meters and the volume in your DAW, to be sure you are not overloading it (and
listen to the results too, of course).
• You can now experiment with the Bass Drum, using the High Pass Filter and the
Bass Shelf band. As soon as you switch on the High Pass filter, you will probably
notice that the Bass Drum sounds weaker than before.
• Now choose a frequency in the Low Shelf EQ (maybe between 60 and 110Hz)
to boost frequencies around that point. The Bass Drum will now appear more
prominently, but with a different timbre.
• When you conclude that the the parameter settings have achieved the desired
sound, it's time to define some MIDI modulation. For that, you need to click the
MIDI icon in the right side of the upper toolbar.
• Now, many of the controls in the 1973-Pre become purple, which means they are
ready to "learn" MIDI automation controls.
• Click the Boost/Cut knob of the Mid Bell band. A pop-up window like the one in
the picture above will appear.
• Now move the controller knob/fader you want to use to control that parameter. If
the connections are well established, you should see the parameter assigned to
the Input Level. If your controller is able to, and the control you selected is of the
right type, you should select "Is Relative", to make sure that when you touch that
parameter the control will not jump suddenly. For more information about this
feature, refer to the section
Relative Control option [p.14]
in the USER INTERFACE
chapter.
• Now select the Input Gain of one channel. Repeat the operation above, for the
knob to "learn" which MIDI control it should respond to.
• Remember that, since we are working in Stereo Mode (the Stereo Link button is
On) any changes made on one channel will be reflected on the other as well.
1973-Pre ready for MIDI learning. Notice the MIDI control
setup window over the selected control, which is already
assigned (when assigned, the color changes to red).
