Korg D1200 Step 3. Mixing, 1. Applying an insert effect to a track

Quick Start Tutorial

In order to play track “3a” which you recorded first, press the [TRACK] key, access the “Vtr1–6” tab page, select “3b,” and turn the [VALUE] dial to change it to “3a.”

Compare the two takes you recorded in virtual tracks “a” and “b.” When you have decided which take is the best, leave that virtual track selected.

Step 3. Mixing

In this step you will complete your song by applying effects to the tracks and adjusting the volume and EQ to create the overall balance. This process is called “mixing.”

1. Applying an insert effect to a track

Previously, we applied the insert effects to the inputs, to process the sound as we recorded. Here’s how to apply an insert effect into a mixer channel, and process the playback sound of the track. In this example, we are assigning an insert effect to the vocal(Mic) recording on track 3.

1Select which tracks will be played back.

Press the [TRACK STATUS] key of each recorded track to select PLAY mode (LED lit green), theplayback of the selected tracks will be included in the mix.

2Access the [INSERT EFFECT] “InsAss” tab page.

3Select the “Assign:” button and press the [ENTER] key. In the dialog box that appears, select “PlayTrack(Trk).”

When you have made your selection, press the [YES/OK] key.

4Select the “SelectEffType:” button and press the [ENTER] key to select the effect type.

For this example, select “1in1outx4.” Make your selection, and press the [YES/OK] key.
