 Condenser, Dynamic 1, Dynamic 2
For each selected microphone, a range of sound design parameters is
available:
 Axis: The "on axis" (controller to the left) setting
corresponds positioning of the microphone directly in the
middle of the speaker cone. In this position, the sound will
have many highs, but may sound piercing. For this reason,
the microphone will often be positioned a bit "off axis" in
order to achieve a softer sound.
 Distance: This control allows you to remove the
microphone from the speaker and position it further away
in the recording studio. This way you can make the sound
more alive and loosen it up acoustically. Using two
microphones with different panoramas (see below) enables
you to create extremely realistic stereo images (note that
the axis parameter has a decreasing effect in relation to
the increasing distance).
 Pan: This parameter distributes the microphone signal in
the stereo sum at the output of the cabinet simulation.
 Level: This adjusts the microphone volume.
Rack effects (FX1/FX2)
There are effects that don't always work well when placed before the amp, e.g.
reverb or delay, especially when they are distorted. Normally, these effects are
better placed at the end of the signal chain.
For final processing and enrichment or whatever else you need, we offer two
separate studio-quality effects units that behave just like real 19" rack devices.
Many of these algorithms create a stereo signal. As required, make sure that
the channel strip is being calculated as stereo in the audio sequencer track.
