22.Adjust the reverb parameters using the V-Pots at the bottom of the Effects Rack. You should see the Left Input and Output meters move as you talk or sing into the microphone.

Note: A more typical use for an effect in the Ef- fects Rack might be to route several channels to an Aux Send; for example, all the background vocals to Aux Send 1. Route Aux Send 1 to the input of the effect in the Effects Rack by selecting it in the Src (Source) drop-down box. The Aux 1 master fader (Masters Fader Bank) is used to control the amount of signal being sent to the effect. Return the effects signal to the signal path by selecting the effect's output for the input of an unused channel.

To write some basic automation:
