Chapter 2

KEY TO KNOBS: Trim Pan Level Frequency Boost or Cut Selector Switch

The first stage of the mixer is adjusted by INPUT MIX, and the later stage of the mixer by TRACK MIX.

However since the VS-880 has the hardware limitation of having only eight channel faders, it is not possible to adjust both INPUT MIX and TRACK MIX simultaneously. This means that you will need to switch between INPUT MIX and TRACK MIX during use.

When the mixer and recorder are in one-to-one correspondence (INPUT➝TRACK)

In this mode, the channels (1Ð8) of the mixer section correspond respectively to the tracks (1Ð8) of the recorder section in a one-to-one correspondence.

This is a Òsimple mixer modeÓ that you can use when you want to record a performance in the eas- iest way. For details refer to ÒMixer section block diagramÓ (p.144).
