Mixing down while inserting effects

If a separately sold VS8F-2 effect expansion board is installed, you can insert effects while you mixdown.

MEMO

While performing a mixdown, it is common to insert an effect such as a parametric equalizer or a compressor. For this example, we will insert the Mastering Tool Kit (EFX1: a newly added algorithm; p. 14) to adjust the overall volume balance as we mixdown.

1.Press [MASTER].

2.Press [PAGE] so that [F6] indicates “M.Tr,” and then press [F6 (M.Tr)].
