Mixer Page Parameters

As for other Acoustic Agent kits, the Agent mixer provides dedicated channels for all instrument groups, as well as for the individual instruments.

Room Microphones



On the Room Mics tab, you can make individual settings for the three room microphone channels.

  • Room Close is a stereo set of uncompressed condenser microphones positioned close to the kit, which capture the overall sound of the kit as well a portion of the room.

  • Room Far is a stereo set of uncompressed condenser microphones positioned farther away from the kit,  which capture all room ambiance.

  • Room Roof is a stereo set of compressed condensers microphones on the ledge about 20 feet above the drum kit.

The Trash/Mix tab on the right contains a dedicated master channel for the Trash Mic signals. The channel controls for this channel are the same as for the room and overhead channels, but instead of the Width control, the Trash Mic channel has a Pan control.



RAM Usage and Voices



The three room channels and the Trash Mic channel provide an additional activation button below the Mute button.

Click this button to deactivate the corresponding channel entirely. All samples of the channel are unloaded from RAM. This reduces the amount of required memory and the number of samples that are played simultaneously.

Kick Group and Kick Channels



On the Kick tab, you can make settings for the three kick microphone channels.

  • Kick In controls the settings of a dynamic bullet microphone that is mounted in the bass drum.

  • Kick Out controls the settings of a multipattern condenser microphone that is mounted in front of the kick drum.

  • Kit FET controls the settings of a FET microphone that is mounted in front of the kick drum. It provides different sound characteristics to the Kick Out channel.

Snare Group and Snare Channels

On the Snares tab, you can make settings for the two snares. For each snare, the following microphone channels are available: Snare Top 57, Snare Top 451, and Snare Bottom.

  • Snare Top 57 controls the settings of a top-mounted dynamic microphone.

  • Snare Top 451 controls the settings of a top-mounted condenser microphone.

  • Snare Bottom controls the settings of a bottom-mounted multipattern condenser microphone.
