The "Dub" Routing Trick
- Route the Snare Top mic to Output 3.
- Route the Hi-Hat to Output 4.
- In your DAW, place a delay (like Echoboy or H-Delay) with 300ms left, 600ms right, 40% feedback.
- Send only the snare and hat to this delay during the 4th bar of every 8-bar phrase. The v1.0.2 update ensures zero phasing when doing this due to the improved latency compensation.
