MIXER (continued)
The
Mimic Pro Mixer offers similar functionality and control to that found in
the professional studio recording world. Unlike other electronic drum modules,
Mimic Pro allows you to edit your sound by adjusting the actual microphones
used during the recording session. You can independently adjust the volume
of the direct, room and overhead mics used to record the drum kit.
To add to the realism of this feature, the crash and splash cymbal gains are
controlled by the overhead and room microphone channels of the mixer in
the same way they are in a professional recording/mixing session for acoustic
drums. They are also channeled through the overhead and room outputs on
the module and may be routed to the output of your choice.
The Instrument name header strips on the mixer screen are color coded for easy reference.
The vertical strip faders for
Phones Mix and Master Mix are also color coded for easy identification.
Pic 43: Color Coding
Phones mix section has blue faders
Pic 44: Master Mix
Master mix section has green faders.
Reverb and Master faders have dark rose color in
both mixers.
EXCEPTION: The ride
and Hi-Hat cymbals use
direct microphones and
may also be individually
routed to the output of
your choice. For more
information on routing,
check the routing section
of the manual.
COLOR CODING
Red indicates a subgroup of instruments with a “SHOW” or “HIDE” guide. Example: The red “Toms”
group may contain four tom strips inside the group. Each strip represents an individual tom. To access the
subgroup, you will notice the word “SHOW” under “TOMS,” tap on the red header to expand the group. To
retract, tap on the red header that now reads “TOMS HIDE.” You can adjust the fader (volume) of the whole
group in addition to each instrument separately.
Green indicates the direct microphone(s) on the instrument.
Yellow indicates the ambient microphones used on the instruments. These are the Overheads
(OH) and Room mics not located close to the instrument. Because of this they capture the sound of the room
and are considered ambient mics. Most of the cymbal sounds are in the OH and Room mixer channels.
Dark Blue indicates the Reverb and Master channels.
