• Now try switching On the Low Pass Filters on top of the EQ section. If the drum
track has prominent cymbal sounds, these will probably decrease substantially.
• Now increment the High Shelf and/or the High Mid Bell EQ bands. For better
results, you have to previously select the base frequency to one of the higher
values (maybe 9k).
• You will probably notice that the cymbals now appear again, but the timbre has
changed.
• You can now experiment with the Bass Drum, using the switches for the High
Pass Filter (one, two or three - try each combination and keep the one that
sounds better to you). Probably, the Bass Drum will now sound much weaker
than before.
• Now choose a frequency in the Low Shelf EQ (maybe around 100 or 150Hz)
to boost frequencies around that point. The Bass Drum will now appear more
prominently, but with a different timbre.
• When 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 TridA-Pre become purple, which means they
are ready to "learn" MIDI automation controls.
• Click the fader of one EQ band of your choice. A pop-up window like 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.13] 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.
