Humanize and Pan settings - observations?

[Oceanview]

I'm curious to know the settings that people find most useful with the Humanize function in VPro? Assuming that humanize has been applied 'globally', how do people generally set the delay, tuning and humanize faders? I'm thinking about classical music played by strings, for example.

Also, what about pan settings when using MIRx? I've found that to some extent MIRx creates enough of a sense of directional sound that almost no panning is needed in the mixer. Is this what other users find?

And do people use the natural volume feature? Is that better than leaving the volume as is?

All comments read with interest.

Hi Oceanview

Humanizer

Most time I use the following values

Delay 63 (of 127)

Tune 63 (of 127)

Humanize 80 - 100 (of 127)

Of course I don't use "Tune" with Bells, Marimba and similar perkussion instruments.

MIRx

With MIRx you should not pan! If you like another position you select this value by another stage setting.

I recommend to reduce the WET/DRY ratio from 50% wet down to around 30% wet.

All the best

Hello Beat,

Thanks for taking the trouble to post your suggestions. Your delay number (63) is far higher than mine, but I haven't listened carefully enough to check if my lower number for delay is not noticeable in its effect. I shall try raising it. I wonder if there is a sense in which one might want less delay on instruments with lower pitches - cellos, basses, etc - to keep the rhythmic element 'tight'. Longer delays on higher, melody instruments might add to the expressive element.

Best wishes,
