  • A question about the mixer presets

    Hi - Although I do own most of the BBO libraries, I am still a neebie to the architecture especially the MIXER PRESETS. What I do not understand is why some instruments get disabled when you shoose a certain preset over another.

    Is there a document / placce that explains the MIXER PRESETS and choice of instrumentation?

    Thanks

    Patrick


  • Hi Patrick,

    Only the spot microphones are disabled to achieve a specific sound. Because the entire orchestra was recorded playing together ( =tutti), you will always have bleeding between microphones. With the spot mics you can emphasize specific instrument groups.

    You can read more about the orchestration of the BBO libraries here: https://www.vsl.info/instruments/bbo/bbo-a

    Best, Ben
