Applying effects during mixdown

Applying an effect such as reverb to each track during a mixdown is an example of a situation in which you would connect the external effect processor to the AUX SEND jack. In this case, you can use the AUX control of each input channel to adjust the effect depth for each track.

1Connect the AUX SEND 1 jack to the input jack of your effect processor, and connect the output jacks of the effect processor to LINE INPUT jacks 5 and 6. Make settings on the effect processor so that its output jacks will output only the effect sound.

2Prepare for mixdown.

As described in “Mixdown” (page 32), adjust the mix balance of each track, and perform the steps leading up to mixdown (steps 1–6).

3Press the PLAY button to playback the song, and for each input channel to which you wish to apply the effect, rotate the AUX control toward the “1” position.

The signals from input channels 1–4 (the playback of tracks 1–4) will be sent to the external effect processor connected to the AUX SEND 1 jack. Adjust the input level of the effect processor if nec- essary.

4Raise level control 5/6.

The effect sound processed by the external effect processor will be mixed into the ST bus. Raising the level control will increase the overall effect.

5When you are finished adjusting the effect depth, press the SONG SEARCH [ ] button to locate to the beginning of the song, and begin the mixdown.
