Using EZ Routing Step Editing

EZ Routing Step Editing walks you through the necessary setup procedure for recording, mixing, bouncing and mastering. As you begin your setup, the VS-1824 presents the first screenful of parameters that must be set. When you are ready, press [F2 (STEP)] to proceed to the next set of parameters until the entire setup is complete. Step Editing can help you learn how the VS-1824 works and is therefore a great tool for beginners.

When you have finished your setup, you can save it as an EZ Routing template. The following pages describe how to use EZ Routing Step Editing.
