Acoustic Agent Mixer
The Agent mixer for Acoustic Agent kits allows you to perform the mixing of these kits. Different
content sets feature different sets of drum instruments, therefore, the available channel strips in
the mixer vary with the kits.
The drum kits for Acoustic Agent were recorded with multiple microphones. The Agent mixer
contains a channel strip for each microphone, as well as a dedicated group channel for each of
the different drums used in the kit.
The left section of the mixer gives you access to all recorded microphones for the different
drums and to the group channels. Group channels are applied to the sum of all microphone
channels of a particular drum instrument.
In the top right corner of the Agent mixer, you can nd the global Mute and Solo buttons.
●
To reset all Mute buttons of the Agent mixer, click the global Mute button.
●
To reset all Solo buttons of the Agent mixer, click the global Solo button.
Groups
If the Groups tab is active, the Agent mixer shows one channel strip for each drum instrument.
