1-2. Applying insert effects during playback

You can apply insert effects to the playback of previously-recorded tracks.

For the procedure of applying insert effects to the track play- back, refer to the Quick Start Tutorial. (→ p.25)

2. Using the master effects

To use the master effects, set the Send Level of each track to send its signal to the master effect. The master effects are used to add depth to the overall mix, or improve the balance. The D1200 provides two master effects (MstEff1 and MstEff2), and they can be used simultaneously. The depth of each effect is adjusted by the send level that is sent from each track to the effect.

Use AUX send when you want to apply an external effect. For details on using master effects, refer to the Quick Start Tutorial. (→ p.27)

3. Using the final effect

The D1200 provides one stereo-in/out final effect. It is applied to the master LR signal.

The final effect is used mainly for dynamic processing (such as compression) to regulate the overall level.

4. Editing an effect

You are free to edit any effect program used as an insert ef- fect, master effect, or final effect.

If you switch the “EffectNumber” or turn off the power without saving, your edited effect settings will be lost. If you want to keep your edited effect settings, you must save them. (→ p.44)
