Plug-in Instantiation
Instantiation in a DAW
To instantiate the Sphere plug-in on a DAW track:
1.
Create a stereo track in your DAW.
2.
Assign your preamp’s output channels to the stereo track’s inputs.
3.
Select the
Townsend Labs Sphere
plug-in as a track insert.
To use the UAD version, select
UAD Townsend Labs Sphere
.
The left and right channels correspond to the front and rear capsules, respectively. When speaking
into the front capsule and monitoring the track, you should hear (and see on the meter) significantly
more level from the left channel. If that is not the case, swap the inputs on the mic preamp.
