BFD Stereo or BFD Groups, and are greyed out when using the BFD All version
of the plugin, as the individual mono Direct outputs do not need to be panned.
The kick and snare Kit-Pieces each have some special controls for the Direct bus.
• Kick In/Out:
This control adjusts the blend between the mic placed inside the kick drum, and
that outside. If you click the button, the phase of the internal mic is inverted.
• Snare Bot/Top:
Using this control, the blend between the mics below and above the snare drum
can be adjusted. If you click the phase button, the phase of the bottom mic is
inverted.
3. Bus mixer area
This area allows easy control over the overall
mix. The Direct and each individual ambient
bus each have their own volume fader here,
as well as Solo and Mute buttons. In addition,
the ambient mics have two extra controls:
• Distance:
This parameter allows you to virtually
manipulate the distance of each ambient mic
set from the drumkit.
• Width:
This control adjusts the stereo width of each ambient mic bus. It ranges from
mono (hard-left) through stereo (centre position) to enhanced stereo (hard-right).
Extreme settings of enhanced stereo should be used carefully as they can add an
out of phase component to your mix.
The Distance and Width parameters for each ambient mic bus are illustrated by a
moving set of mics which can be seen in the main Kit Display.
