Advanced tip:
Using compression with a fast attack setting on the grouped tracks keeps transients (the first part of a sound, such as when a drum stick strikes
a cymbal) toward the center of the stereo image and allows them to expand within the stereo field as the sound decays.
Manual Decoding of Raw Mid-Side Audio
Advanced Mic Settings
After selecting the preset mode, finetune your sound with limiter, compressor, and equalizer settings. These settings are re
tained in the microphone when using other audio and video recording applications.
Limiter
Toggle the limiter on or off to prevent distortion from volume peaks in your recording.
Compressor
Choose no compression, or select light or heavy compression to control volume when your sound source is dynamic. Quiet
signals are boosted and loud signals are lowered.
Wind Noise Reduction
Wind Noise Reduction engages a lowfrequency cutoff filter that reduces rumble caused by environmental noise. Use the in
cluded foam windscreen in combination with wind reduction to counteract rumble and plosives (bursts of air hitting the micro
phone).
To further reduce wind noise, use the optional Rycote Windjammer, which fits over the included foam windscreen.
Left-Right Channel Swap
For stereo recordings, use
Left Right Swap
to flip the left and right audio channels to match the stereo image to the video. For
example, when using video to record yourself.
Tip:
Use the L and R indicators on the microphone barrel. This way you can set
Left Right Swap
before you start to record.
