Per's Setup:
- Audio input,
- EQ rolling off bass and lifting treble,
- 16 alternative effect chains to play through,
- The Mobius looper,
- EQ rolling off bass,
- Stereo compression,
- Audio output.
I have taken three screen-shots for illustration.
This one shows
the concert setup: http://www.looproom.com/concert.jpg
Here's the concert setup with EQ settings visible: http://www.looproom.com/concert_eq.jpg
The reason I cut
out bass at the input is that I'm creating bass
lines by pitching down loops I record. The signal would be way too
boomy for summing into loop layers if I didn't do this. The reason I
cut out sub bass after summing all loops into a stereo signal is that
this makes the output stage compressor dynamically work in a nice
way. If letting sub bass into the compressor even frequencies that
are too low for the PA to play back would affect the rest of the
sounding material in a bad way (would sound "flickery" instead of
a
steady groove). Balancing frequencies through all effect treatments
into the final compression is also about balancing all this against
the live audio input. The FireFace400 allows me to fine-tune all
three live audio inputs I'm using to control the compression of the
entire mix by my live playing input.
The third screenshot
is the recording setup. It's exactly the same as
the concert setup but without the final compressing and also
outputting Mobius track's as separate channels to be recorded
separately:
