When to use Re-Mic Mode
Use Re-Mic mode to “replace” existing audio with new audio that inherits the
sonic characteristics of Ocean Way Studios. The original dry signal compo-
nent is removed and completely immersed with Ocean Way room sound. See
“Re-Mic Processing” on page 293 for an overview of Re-Mic mode.
Figure 94 shows how to configure the Re-mic workflow in a DAW. In this ex-
ample, all the drums are routed to a submix bus instead of the main outputs.
Ocean Way Studios is inserted on the submix bus return, and the plug-in is in
Re-Mic mode. Note that the effect sends are not used in this configuration.
In Re-Mic mode, the Dry/Wet (mix) control is automatically fixed at 100% wet
so the original dry signal does not stack or “phase” against the modeled di-
rect component signal. Instead of an effect bus return (or mix control), the de-
sired ambience is adjusted with the studio, source, and microphone selec-
tions, along with microphone placements and their relative levels.
Note: Because Re-Mic mode includes the direct signal path component in ad-
dition to the reverb components, the plug-in output is inherently louder in
Re-Mic mode.
