Before we look at more setup examples, lets cover

some quick tips on efficient use of the Digital X Bus

 

Digital

plug-ins. Follow these easy steps to use the Digital

X Bus internal plug-ins.

 

 

The Digital X Bus comes with a Stereo Delay and

 

a Reverb. Additional plug-ins can be purchased and

 

installed on the Digital X Bus using the Package

 

Installer (File > Install Packages). Visit our website

 

at www.mackie.com to learn more about available

 

plug-ins.

 

 

 

Note: Other 3rd-party plug-ins not tested and

 

packaged by Mackie can be installed using the

 

“Launch 3rd Party Installer” command under the

 

File menu. This runs any executable (.exe) file at-

 

tached to a USB port (CD or Flash drives) or from

 

the internal hard drive.

3.You can select the same plug-in multiple times. They appear as consecutively numbered effects in the effect rack (e.g., Reverb 1, Reverb 2, etc.).

Note: Each effect has a drop-down box to select the input source for the effect. You can select an Aux Send (1-12), or a channel or master pre- or post-insert point.

•If you select an Aux Send as the source for the effect, you must return the signal to the mix by selecting the output from the effect as the input source on an unused channel.

•If you select a channel or master insert as the source for the effect, the output of the effect is au- tomatically returned to the channel's insert point.

You can save the settings for an effect as a preset. Click the MENU button in the upper-right corner of the effect and select Presets to open the PRESETS window. Click New to save the settings under the NEW PRESET name of your choice. Click Load to copy a preset's settings to the effect.
