One topic that has come up for using this kit in a professional setting, such as in a recording studio, is whether the kit's various drums can be separated among the available outputs for mixing purposes. This can be accomplished through the Module of the Strata Prime via the Mixer screen. In this guide, we will explore the various settings necessary for this configuration.
One of the fundamental concepts involved is Panning and its connection to the outputs. Outputs are organized in pairs within the module, and when Left and Right are not explicitly mentioned, Left will correspond to the odd-numbered output while Right will correspond to the even-numbered output. This will assist you in routing specific drums to a single output.
First, you will need to go into the Mixer and make sure the EZ view is off. This will allow you more options for adjusting the drums within the mixer.
Next, you'll want to head over to the Cymbal Mics and set all outputs to 5/6, except for the hi-hat. After, pan your Crashes to the Right so that they only come through Output 6, and pan your Ride to the Left to ensure it comes out of Output 5. Keep your hi-hat on Drum Mix, but pan it to the right so it outputs through Main Output R. This is important because there are various sounds associated with the hi-hat, so it should be assigned to its own output.
For the Drum Mics tab, you want all the Toms on Output 3/4, with your floor toms panned right for Output 4, rack toms panned left for output 3. Kick and Snare on Drum Mix, and I'd pan those Left so that they come strictly out of Main L.
From that point, disable the ambient microphones by going into the FX tab and muting Ambimix. These microphones capture your overheads and room sounds, but since you're sending everything to the mixing board in isolation to maintain the clarity of those sounds without excessive bleed, it's somewhat redundant.
You may observe in this instance that it disables your reverb. Although you can reapply it separately to each drum, it might be more advantageous to incorporate it into your DAW through a bus after tracking.
Ultimately, for the output connections, you will want XLR for the mains (obviously) and TRS for the other outputs, as they will provide Line Level output. Minor adjustments from the module should be made by you through the mixer function within the module at the engineer's request, and after that, you should be ready for the session. Adjustments to raise or lower specific drums should be made according to the EQ; for example, each output will feature a higher drum (Snare) and a lower drum (Kick), which you can tweak the EQ to highlight more.
