Hi everyone!
Here's a new video for all lovers of the great application G-Stomper Studio.
Today we're going to talk about the mixer and master functions.
Let's get started.
The Mixer is the place where all audio signals get mixed together to a single audio signal.
Logically it is placed right between the Sampler/Synth modules and the Master section.
Audio mixing is the process by which multiple sounds are combined into one or more channels.
In the process, the source signals volume, frequency content and panoramic position
are manipulated and effects such as reverb may be added.
This treatment is done in order to produce a mix that is more appealing to listeners.
To access the mixer from any screen, use the View menu to navigate to it.
Global channel controls:
In addition to the channel strips the mixer provides a set of global controls for all 36 channels.
Scroll button (>>) to scroll through the Channels (T01-12, T13-24, VT01-12)
VOL/PAN buttons to switch the Channel Faders between Volume and Panorama.
Solo "Reset" to un-solo all channels
Mute "Reset" to un-mute all channels
Channel strip:
Each Channel Strip provides the following controls:
FX Send switch.
EQ switch to show up the parametric 3-Band Channel EQ.
Volume / Panorama Fader (VOL: blue, PAN: red)
Use the VOL/PAN buttons at the right side to switch between Volume and Panorama.
VU Meter to monitor the Channel Output signal (where it leaves the Channel Strip).
FX INS switch to show up the Channel Insert Effects.
Solo switch (the Reset button at the right side is used to un-solo all channels)
Mute switch (the reset button at the right side is used to un-mute all channels)
Channels channel signal way:
The Signal way through a Mixer Channel is the way an audio signal goes when it passes a Channel.
The signal enters the Mixer Channel at the bottom and then passes through all the way up.
1. Mute
2. Solo (overrides the mute if enabled)
3. Insert effects
4. Volume/Panorama fader
5. Parametric 3-Band EQ
6. VU Meter
7. Send Effects
Channel insert effects:
Each Mixer Channel provides two Insert Effect Units, which let you use two independent Effects per Track.
Press the "FX INS" button to show up the Insert Effects for a specific Channel.
By default all Insert FX are turned off, which means no FX are loaded.
Use the dedicated buttons to load Effects to the the Units.
It is very important to remember that the Channel Insert Effects do provide only a subset
of the complete list of FX Types.There are no Vocoders (Vocoders cannot be used without side-chaining).
Note that the "FX INS" button on the Mixer gets highlighted if one or more Insert Effects are in use.
Remember that for more information about the effects available in G-Stomper Studio and how to use it
you can consult the applications user manual.
In the chapter effects you will find extensive information on this subject,
or you could watch the video explaining this chapter.
Channel Equalizer:
Each Mixer Channel provides a parametric 3-Band Equalizer.
Press the "EQ" button to show up the EQ for a specific Channel.
By default all EQ-Bands are turned off.
Each Band can be toggled ON/OFF independently in use of the dedicated buttons on top of the Band.
Notice that the "EQ" button on the Mixer gets highlighted if one or more bands are turned ON.
We'll go into more detail in the operation of the parametric 3-Band Equalizers later on.
Link channel Volumes:
The Mixer Volume Link is a very powerful feature,
which can be used to lower or raise the Volume of all channels at once by moving a single fader.
You can turn it ON/OFF by long pressing the VOL button.
It can save you hours of work when you need to change the volume of the complete mix
(all channels, not the master out).
Let's take a look at it with a practical example:
We all know the situation, when you want to raise the volume of a particular track
and you realize that it is already at max volume (T09 in this example).
The only 'proper' way raise the volume of T09 is to lower all other channel volumes
while keeping the relations between the channel volumes.
The Mixer Volume Link can do this Job without the painful manual adjustment of all channels.
Long press VOL to enable the Mixer Volume Link.
Now move one of the faders (it doesn't matter which you move) to lower the volume on all channels at once.
All other channels follow your movement while keeping the relations between the channel volumes.
In other words, you lower the volume of all channels while keeping the mix intact.
Now long press the VOL button again to turn the Mixer Volume Link off.
Finally raise the volume of T09.
However, it's important to note that there might be channels which are technically impossible to link.
Channels with Volume zero.
Channels with volume automation applied.
Those channels will be locked and excluded from the link.
Lock Mixer:
The Lock Mixer feature is used to lock the mixer to the current setup.
Locking the Mixer can be very useful in live situations, when you've tweaked the Mix for the
currently used environment / speaker system, and you want to keep the setup for the complete live session.
If enabled, all Mixer Channels including Channel Insert FX, Channel Volume, Channel Panorama, Channel EQ,
and the Send FX selection (but not the loaded FX in the FX Chain), are locked at their current settings,
even if you load other Patterns, Pattern Sets or Sound Sets.
Furthermore, if enabled, all Parameter Automations of the locked Parameters are turned off.
It should be noted that the function 'Lock Mixer' is dedicated to be used live/manually,
which means it's not saved with the pattern.
Lock Mono:
The Lock Mono feature is used to temporary lock the complete mix to Mono.
Working in Mono is very helpful to bring a mix to the point,
because you can fully focus on levels and frequencies (not panning) to get clarity and separation.
If enabled, all Panorama settings and all Stereo affecting FX parts are bypassed.
One thing to keep in mind is that 'Lock Mono' does only affect the regular audio output
and the Audio Session Recorder.
It does NOT affect any kind of Audio Export/Bouncing.
In addition, the function Lock Mono is also available in the Master section.
The Master Section is used to finalize the output signal.
Logically it is placed right after (at the output of) the Mixer.
Click on Select View and choose Master/SumFX to show up the Master/SumFX section.
Alternatively you can open this screen by long clicking the FX EDIT toolbar button.
From any screen, use the "View" menu to navigate to the Master section.
The Master Section provides two Sum Effect Units and the Master Out controls.
Master Out controls:
The Master Out provide the following controls:
Pre Sum FX / Post Sum FX
Switch to logically apply the Master Volume, Panorama and EQ before or after the Sum Effects.
Panorama fader
Volume fader
VU Meters to monitor the Master Input and Output signal.
EQ switch to show up parametric 3-Band Master EQ.
Bypass switch
Master Equalizer:
The Master Out provides a parametric 3-Band Equalizer which is applied to the sum signal.
Press the "EQ" button to show up the EQ.
By default all EQ-Bands are turned off.
Each Band can be toggled ON/OFF independently in use of the dedicated buttons on top of the Band.
Note that the EQ button in the Master Out section gets highlighted if one or more bands are turned ON,
furthermore the bypass switch is automatically turned OFF (if it was ON).
Lock Master:
The Lock Master feature is used to lock all parameters in the Master section.
Locking the Master section is very useful in live situations, when you've tweaked the Master section
for the currently used environment / speaker system,
and you want to keep the settings for the complete live session.
If enabled, all Master parameters (including Sum FX) are locked at their current values,
even if you load other Patterns, Pattern Sets or Sound Sets.
Furthermore, if enabled, all Parameter Automations in the Master section are turned off.
It should be noted that 'Lock Master' is dedicated to be used live/manually,
which means it's not saved with the pattern.
Lock Mono:
We've already spoken about this function in the mixer section. This works in exactly the same way.
Low Band:
The Low Band can be used in two ways:
Low Shelf: to lower or raise the frequencies below the cutoff frequency
Peak: to lower or raise a specific frequency (with a variable bandwidth)
Mid Band:
The Mid Band is fixed in Peak Mode, of course with variable frequency and bandwidth.
High Band:
The High Band can be used in two ways:
High Shelf: to lower or raise the frequencies above the cutoff frequency
Peak: to lower or raise a specific frequency (within a variable bandwidth)
Out:
The Out section is used to adjust the Out Volume of the signal after it passed the EQ (50%..200%).
Wether you need to lower or raise the output volume depends on the audio signal as well as the EQ settings.
If the EQ settings result in a louder signal (e.g. if you boost the bass with the low band),
then it makes sense to lower the output volume.
If the EQ settings result in a less loud signal (e.g. when you lower the bass with the low band),
then it makes sense to raise the output volume.
Use the VU Meter at the right side to monitor the EQ Output signal.
In some situations it's helpful to have a quick A/B comparison (with and without EQ).
Just use the 'Bypass EQ' to completely bypass the EQ.
Well, that's the end of today's video.
Really hope you enjoyed it and you found it useful until next time.
