ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC

RATTLE: 

This  channel  is  slightly  different  to  the  others  as  it  does  not  contain  a  ‘direct’ 

signal from the drum machines - so it does not have an individual sample-set for every 
single  hit  as  the  others  do.  Instead,  it  is  a  collection  of  drum  shell  rattles  -  whole  kits, 
single drums, snare wires, etc. Each still has 5 round robins per hit, as do all channels in 
Electro Acoustic, but if you select the ‘full drum kit’ sound in the menu, then this will be 
the same sound whether you add it to a kick or a snare. 
The set is divided into drum rattles at the top of the list, and general rattles and artefacts 
in the bottom half. The ‘Exit Sign’ rattles were recorded in SOTA studios, using a contact 
mic on an exit sign above the door. 

PA HI:

 A stereo signal made up of a close tweeter mic and a close high-mid mic on the 

PA system. Both are panned to centre, but if you want to increase the stereo width, use 
the STEREO WIDTH control on the mixer channel. 

PA MID:

 A stereo pair a few feet back from the PA, aiming at the midrange units. This has 

an unusual colour and some ambience in it. 

PA LOW

:

 A mono signal from the PA subwoofers. Recorded with Neumann FET47s into 

Neve preamps, this sounds incredibly fat and can be used to reinforce kicks and snares or 
with the PA high channel to make big, organic drum sounds.
