Chapter 4. Effect Settings
LO-FI
Intentionally degrades the sound quality for creative
purposes.
RING MOD
Applies amplitude modulation (AM) to the input signal,
producing bell-like sounds.
You can make settings for the stereo compressor/limiter and
three-band parametric EQ (equalizer) that are applied to the
final stage of the master output. These settings can be used
for individual kits and/or all kits.
Using the master compressor
• When used as a compressor, this allows you to raise the
overall loudness of the drums by compressing brief peaks in
the sound. This lets the sound project better, without being
buried in the mix by the other instruments.
• When used as a comp-limiter, this lets you increase the
recording level while limiting the maximum input to the
recording device.
• If you’re using a small monitor amp, you can use this effect as
a limiter so that the peaks of the drum sound are limited,
making the sound less likely to distort.
Using the master EQ
• This lets you adjust the tonal character by boosting or cutting
each of the three bands (low, mid, and high-frequencies).
• You can also use this to make compensations in the tone
when using the master comp.
