Chapter 6 Mixer Channel Strip Detail

[F4(FX4In)] Effect 4 Insert

After pressing [F4 (FX4In)], or moving the cursor to the FXIns area, press [ENTER].

FX4 (Effect Insert Switch)

This sets how the effect is connected in the mixer.

Off:

The effect is not inserted in the channel.

Ins:

Both channels of the stereo effect are inserted into the channel.

InsL:

The left channel of the effect is inserted into the mixer channel.

InsR:

The right channel of the effect is inserted into the mixer channel.

InsS:

Each channel of the effect is inserted in series into the mixer channel.

*When Ins or InsS is selected, that effect cannot be inserted on any other channel. When InsL or InsR is selected, that effect can be inserted only on one other mixer channel. If the name of an input or track appears as the Insert Switch setting, the effect is already being inserted in the displayed input or track. You will need to select the input or track that is using that effect and turn its Effect Insert Switch off. Remember that effects can be inserted in the MIX bus as well.

Snd (Insert Send Level)

This adjusts the level of signal (-42 dB to +6 dB) sent to the effect. The default setting is 0 dB.

Rtn (Insert Return Level)

This adjusts the level of signal (-42 dB to +6 dB) returned from the effect. The default setting is 0 dB.

[F1 (Link)] Channel Link

Use this setting to link or unlink adjacent mixer channels.

On:

Adjacent channels are linked.

Off:

Adjacent channels are not linked.

[F2 (ATT)] Attenuation

Lowers or boosts the volume level (-42 dB to +6 dB) of the

channel.

[F3 (Phase)] PHASE

This selects the Phase (NRM, INV) for each channel. If you are using two microphones to record one source, it is possible that you will experience “phase cancellation.” This is usually caused by a microphone that is wired in an inverted fashion and results in the lowering or muting of your signal when both channels are played. If you are experiencing this, try setting this parameter to “INV” for one of the microphones. Usually “NRM” is selected.

NRM:

Normal phase (same phase as input). (Default setting).

INV:

Inverted (opposite) phase.

[F4 (Group)] FADER GROUP

Turn the TIME/VALUE knob to assign the selected channel to one of the eight Fader Groups.

[F1 (Meter)] METER

Switches the Meter Display in the Mixer screen between pre- fader and post-fader signal levels. Pre-fader indicates the level of the signal before it passes through the channel fader and post-fader indicates the level of the signal after it passes through the channel fader.

[F2 (Stats)] STATUS

After pressing [F2 (Stats)] or moving the cursor to the “Status” area, press [ENTER]. The display shows the Track Status. (The Track Status is changed by pressing the STATUS button above the channel fader.)

PLAY

The track is set for playback.

MUTE

The track is muted.

SOURCE

The input source or track assigned to the channel is heard.

REC

The track is ready to be recorded, or is being recorded.

Use this area as another way to assign inputs, tracks, and effect returns to a track to be recorded. Move the cursor to the source, and use the TIME/VALUE dial to place a mark for all sources to be assigned to the track.
