ENGLISH
Limiter – This is probably the first device a recording engineer
reaches out for when recording drums. Limiting (or compression, the
difference is not always easily defined) controls the overall output
level and can also be used as an effect.
Ambience – Groove Agent comes with a complete set of ambience
recordings for all drums and percussion instruments. The acoustic
sounds have been recorded with distant microphones and the elec-
tronic sounds have been processed through various reverb and ef-
fects units.
Dry/Wet – These are terms that describe the two extremes of a sound.
Either it's recorded very closely in a damped environment – dry – or
we're dealing with the sound recorded from a distance or bathed in
reverb – wet.
