I have a question regarding the wet/dry relationship. I know there is a very long thread about this, but I couldn't find an answer. I wonder why the default gloabal setting is 50%. If I want an instrument to sound like it was recorded in Teldex, why shouldn't I push the slider to 100%? For me, it's not logical to let the direct signal pass through.
Doesn't it make sense to set it to 100% for close microphones, in particular? The brass instruments (not dimension!) sound better with this, in my opinion.
The following two settings sound similar, but is this true? What's the difference?
1) Instrument: 20% dry/wet <--> Global: 100% dry/wet 2) Instrument: 100% dry/wet <--> Global: -80% dry/wet
Many, many thanks in advance.
Simple answer is that the wet/dry slider is not a simple mixing of "bone dry" with wet like you would think of when you're using a typical wet/dry slider in most other FX plugins.
The DRY componet doesn't have any reverb in it, including early reflections, but still does have many other aspects of location of the instrument on the stage... The panning, the width, some EQ related to distance from the main mic, the directivity of the player, etc.. This is the dry component of MIR. So you do need it there.. If you were sitting in the room you would hear the direct sound of the instrument hitting your ears and you would hear the sound after it bounced off the walls, both early and late reflections. MIR gives you both, the direct part of it is in the DRY signal, the reflected part is in the WET. In theory, 50% should be kind of like normal, but you can certainly play with the slider to make it sound a little drier or wetter, if it sounds good that's what matters.
