This feature is only available for Synchron Power Drums!

It lets you adjust the bleed level of other instruments into the channels of specific microphones. An activated insert of a BLEED signal is displayed in blue (which will also be the case for all inputs into ambient microphones), and the activated original instrument source that belongs to each channel will be displayed in green.

Bleeding lets you adjust the room sound in a unique way, and you can also "roughen up" the sound of your drum mix quite a bit by adding some of the bleeding sound of, e.g., a bass drum that is also captured in the snare drum microphone (as you can see below).

You can enable each slot with the power sign and adjust the value by dragging the bar from the right side of the slot.

1. RESET: Resets all values to the original settings of the selected mixer preset.

2. Bleed: The Master Bleed knob provides control over the whole room impression. A powerful tool for every mix.

3. Bleed View: Click to see the bleed settings in your mixer.

4. Bleed slots: Adjust the amount of bleed signal that is fed to your instrument channel from other instruments.

There are multiple versions of Mixer Presets available when you open Browser. The management of mixer presets is much easier and clearer in the Mixer Preset Browser.

Our Go-To Presets are the ideal starting point for every recording, with as few microphones as possible and a ready-made Room-Mix channel that contains a mix of all available microphones from the Full Library. Easy adjustment by adding more or less direct signal (close, mid and back microphones).

The Decca Tree takes care of the room signals, which in comparison with the Room-Mix will produce a more slender sound with less diffusion. The classic stereo recording with a lot of room for adjustments.

Utilizing all available microphones for more flexibility in the mix. The room microphones with their different sounds and the possible runtime delays help to create more diversity in the perception of room depth. Great to optimize positioning, details, contours and complexity in your mixes.

You will find additional NARROW mixer presets available, which place the sections closer together at Vienna Synchron Stage.

Full flexibility for your surround setup. Send the close, mid, back mics as well as the decca tree microphones to your main L-R speakers, and your surround microphones to your surround channels accordingly.

You can easily adjust the Dry/Wet Ratio to fit your mix.

Don’t forget that, depending on your chosen Mixer Preset, your reverb sends might also need some adjustment.

1. DRY/WET Slider: Controls the amount of reverb added to the signal. Higher settings will make the signal sound more embedded in the virtual space.

2. BYPASS: Will bypass impulse reverb processing. Will not release CPU resources.

3. REMOVE: Removes impulse reverb processing from the channel's processing chain. Will also release CPU resources.

4. IMPULSE RESPONSE DISPLAY: Displays a simplified waveform of the applied impulse response.
