10. INPUT GAIN
-
to adjust the overall level of the stereo sound running through
the bx_control use the input GAIN knob.
-
Since this is an INPUT gain control turning it down a bit will
“cure” any internal clippings that may occur when MONO MAKER
and STEREO WIDTH CONTROL are being used.
6. How do I get started with the bx_control in a typical mastering,
recording or mixing session?
Recording, mixing and / or mastering music is all about HEARING
OBJECTIVELY…and enhancing musical performances if possible… and it is
(often enough…) about correcting mistakes that have been made in a
prior stage of the production… this sounds basic, but we do mean it
literally!
We assume that most if not all people who have purchased the bx_control
are familiar with using a standard dynamic tool or other tools as a plug-in
in their sequencer host program, so we will skip the total basics of “how to
use a plug-in” and go on with the possibilities arising from using just THIS
plug-in. Inserting the bx_control into any “plug-in-slot” of your sequencer
or editor will be done slightly different depending on which host program
you are using, and we are (well, at least “almost”!) sure that you already
know how to do this with YOUR host software…
6.a. RECORDING M/S microphone signals with the bx_control:
You may record the signals of your M (one ore several M mics are
possible!) & S (one S-mic only, please!) microphones individually and
route them straight into the bx_control. Either do this in REAL-TIME with a
proper routing or record the microphones individually and route them into
the bx_control AFTER you have recorded (e.g. during mixdown).
check the latency of your system! The bx_control will NOT add extra
latency for its operation! With most modern DAW systems you will be ok
to record “through” the bx_control “on the fly”…
