Now that we've created a stereo subgroup, let's make an instrument group:
1. The first step is to get a good mix of the instruments you are grouping—in
this case, the drums. Beginning with Channel 1 (Kick), raise the fader and,
with the drummer's assistance, set the input trim, EQ, and dynamics for each
drum separately.
2. As you select each channel and dial in its Fat Channel settings, assign each
Comp
channel to be routed to Subgroups 1 and 2 and unassign it from the Main
EQ / Dyn
bus. When you are done with each channel, lower the fader before moving
on. When you get to Channels 7 and 8 (Overheads), you may want to
Preset consider stereo linking them.
3. After you have gone through the entire kit and are satisfied with each
channel's EQ and dynamics, have the drummer play the entire kit, and select
the Mix 1 in the Mix Select area and set the relative volume and panning for
each mic in the mix.
Press the FlexMix fader's Select button to use the Fat Channel section to
4.
add dynamics processing and EQ to the stereo drum group.
