Host Starts Time At 1<br />
This option is provided for sequencers such as Digital Performer, which start their<br />
time numbering at 1 instead of 0, which would lead to Grooves playing at the<br />
wrong time.<br />
Bleed To Primary Direct (BFD All only)<br />
BFD’s multiple-microphone technology enables control over the level of bleed<br />
present in the final mix. All bleed appears in the kick (in and out) and snare (top<br />
and bottom) channels. This is in order to capture the resonation of the snare and<br />
kick as each Kit-Piece is struck, as well as the sound of the Kit-Piece recorded<br />
through the kick and snare mics. When using the BFD All version (all outputs),<br />
this bleed is, by default, preserved in the original channel on which it was<br />
recorded.<br />
If you check this option, the bleed will be routed to the Kit-Piece’s own direct mic<br />
channel (in other words, the bleed from the snare and kick channels is summed<br />
and added to the drum’s primary direct mic channel).<br />
There are a couple of special cases:<br />
• For kicks, the bleed from the snare’s top mic is routed to the kick in channel,<br />
and the bleed from the snare bottom mic is routed to the kick out channel.<br />
• For snares, the bleed from the kick in mic is routed to the snare top channel,<br />
and the bleed from the kick out mic is routed to the snare bottom channel.<br />
A decision was made not to include bleed from the other mics, because the<br />
levels were just too low to be useful, and would have demanded too much extra<br />
bandwidth during the disk streaming process.<br />
Preview RAM Audio Only<br />
This option makes BFD play only the initial part of the sounds which are held in<br />
RAM before the disk streaming process begins (corresponds to RAM Cache Size).<br />
In this mode no data is accessed from the disk. It can be useful as a preview<br />
mode while composing, and turned off during mixdown.<br />
Maximum Stream Buffers<br />
BFD keeps recently played audio data in RAM, so that there is less strain on the<br />
