5 5.1 PreSonus AudioBox™ 22/44VSL Tutorials Microphone Types Overview If you are using a new or nonstandard type of microphone (e.g., USB, headset, laser, MEMS), please consult your microphone’s user’s manual for power requirement and compatibility information. Hookup Regardless of the microphone type you are using, we recommend reading your microphone’s user’s manual thoroughly before engaging phantom power and in case other usage questions arise. Connecting to a Computer 5.1.
Plug the electric bass guitar into a passive direct box. Connect the instrument output from the passive direct box to a bass amplifier. Place a dynamic microphone an inch or two away from the speaker and connect it to a AudioBox 22/44VSL microphone input. Connect the line output from the passive direct box to the other microphone input on your AudioBox. Be sure to keep the trim level for this input very low so as not to clip the converters. For recording, place these signals on separate tracks.
5 5.1 Tutorials Microphone Types PreSonus AudioBox™ 22/44VSL Microphone Types 5.1 Overview Drum Overheads (XY example) Hookup Place two small-diaphragm condenser microphones on an XY stereo-microphone holder (bar).

This technique can be used in live applications as well.
Owner’s Manual 5 5.2 A Brief Tutorial on Dynamics Processing Overview 5.2 Tutorials A Brief Tutorial on Dynamic Processing Connecting to a Computer 5.2.1 Hookup Virtual StudioLive (VSL) software is included with the AudioBox 22/44VSL. Each channel in VSL includes a Fat Channel dynamics section. What follows is an excerpt from a brief tutorial on dynamics processing written by PreSonus president and founder Jim Odom. It is included to help you get the most out of VSL and the Fat Channel.
5 5.2 Tutorials A Brief Tutorial on Dynamic Processing PreSonus AudioBox™ 22/44VSL Overview Why do the best consoles in the world put compressors on every channel? The answer is simply that most instruments need some form of compression, often very subtle, to be properly heard in a mix. Hookup Why do we need noise gates? Connecting to a Computer Consider the compressed-vocal example discussed earlier; you now have a 20 dB dynamic range for the vocal channel.
Tutorials A Brief Tutorial on Dynamic Processing 5 5.2 Overview How severely the compressor reduces the signal is determined by the compression ratio and compression threshold. A ratio of 2:1 or less is considered mild compression, reducing the output by a factor of two for signals that exceed the compression threshold. Ratios above 10:1 are considered hard limiting.
5 5.2 Tutorials A Brief Tutorial on Dynamic Processing PreSonus AudioBox™ 22/44VSL Overview Attack. Attack sets the speed at which the compressor acts on the input signal. A slow attack time allows the beginning envelope of a signal (commonly referred to as the initial transient) to pass through the compressor unprocessed, whereas a fast attack time immediately subjects the signal to the ratio and threshold settings of the compressor. Hookup Connecting to a Computer Release.
Owner’s Manual Tutorials A Brief Tutorial on Dynamic Processing 5 5.2 Overview the level of a signal by a factor of two. (e.g., if a level drops 5 dB below the expansion threshold, the expander will reduce it to 10 dB below the threshold.) Hookup Commonly used for noise reduction, expansion is very effective as a simple noise gate.
5 5.2 PreSonus AudioBox™ 22/44VSL Tutorials A Brief Tutorial on Dynamic Processing Overview Frequency Key Filter. Some gates offer a variable frequency control allowing the user to set a specific frequency band that the will cause the gate to open or close. Hookup Noise Gating. Noise gating is the process of removing unwanted sounds from a signal by attenuating all signals below a set threshold.

The low ratio and threshold in this setting gives a “fat” contour to even out the sound from overhead drum mics. Low end is increased, and the overall sound is more present and less ambient. You get more “boom” and less “room.” Connecting to a Computer Fretted Instruments Electric Bass.

5 5.3 Overview Equalizers Connecting to a Computer What is an EQ? Software: Virtual StudioLive SL Remote, and Studio One Artist An equalizer is a filter that allows you to adjust the level of a frequency, or range of frequencies, of an audio signal. In its simplest form, an EQ will let you turn the treble and bass up or down, allowing you to adjust the coloration of, let’s say, your car stereo or iPod. In recording, equalization is a sophisticated art. Good equalization is critical to a good mix.
5 5.3 Tutorials Equalizers PreSonus AudioBox™ 22/44VSL Overview between 60 to 125 Hz, but the attack of the kick drum is much higher at 2 to 5 kHz. By setting a narrow bandwidth and boosting the attack a bit, you can achieve a punchier kick drum without overpowering the rest of the mix. Hookup A broad bandwidth accentuates or attenuates a larger band of frequencies. The broad and narrow bandwidths (high and low Q) are usually used in conjunction with one another to achieve the desired effect.
Owner’s Manual Tutorials Equalizers 5 5.3 Overview High Mids (2 kHz to 4 kHz). The attack portion of percussive and rhythm instruments occurs in this range. High mids are also responsible for the projection of midrange instruments. Connecting to a Computer Hookup Presence (4 kHz to 6 kHz). This frequency range is partly responsible for the clarity of a mix and provides a measure of control over the perception of distance.

5 5.5 PreSonus AudioBox™ 22/44VSL Tutorials Digital Effects Overview 5.5 Digital Effects VSL includes two stereo effects processors that feature the two most common type of effects in use for live sound: reverb and delay. Hookup 5.5.1 Reverb Connecting to a Computer Reverberation—or reverb, as it is more commonly known—is perhaps the most widely used effect. Natural reverb is created by sound waves reflecting off of a surface or many surfaces.
Owner’s Manual 5 5.5 Overview Delay Hookup A delay essentially creates an echo, although you can often use delays to create more complex time-based effects. The source signal is delayed so that it is heard later than it actually occurred. Connecting to a Computer elay Time. Delay time is the time between the source signal and its D echo. The simplest delay effect is a single repeat.
