nel.

head signals through the Inserts to the individ-
ual channel output, instead of the Overheads
channel.

Master Section Channels
The Master section provides four special chan-
nels: Overhead, Room, Talkback, and Master.
The Master section can be shown or hidden by
clicking the small yellow triangle to the left of
the Overheads channel.
Overheads
The Overheads are a pair of stereo microphones
positioned above the Drum Kit capturing a spa-
tial sound containing signals from all Instru-
ments. Unlike a real studio recording, you can
adjust the amount each Instrument contributes
to the Overhead channel using the Overhead
slider in each Instrument channel.
Delay Delays the Overhead signal by up to 20
ms
to simulate different overhead microphone dis-
tances.
Cymbal Width Adjusts the stereo width of all
cymbals in the Kit.
Width (Overhead Width) Adjusts the stereo width
of the overhead microphones.
Room
The Room microphones are stereo microphones
similar to Overheads, but are positioned further
away in the room and capture a more diffuse
sound. Unlike a real studio recording, you can
adjust the amount each Instrument contributes
to the Room channel using the Room slider in
each Instrument channel.
Delay Delays the Room signal by up to 50 ms to
simulate different room microphone distances.
Unlike a real recording situation, in Strike
you can adjust how much of an individual
Instrument’s signal is going to the Room
and Overhead microphones using the Room
and Overhead faders on Instrument chan-
nels.
