34 Using Effects
MT8XII—Owner’s Manual
Applying Effects at Mixdown
1. To send a signal to an effects processor, set the input channel fader to the
78 mark and turn up an AUX control.
The input channel signal is sent to the effects processor and the Stereo bus.
2. Set the effects processor as required.
3. To mix the processed signal back into the stereo mix, turn up the ST INPUT
level control.
Use the ST INPUT level control to balance the processed signal with the dry, unprocessed signal
that is coming directly from the input channel. Use the input channel fader to adjust the level
of the unprocessed signal. Set the MONITOR SELECT to GROUP to monitor both signals.
You can apply the same effect to other channels using the corresponding AUX controls.
Applying Effects when Recording
1. To send an input channel signal to an effects processor, set the [FLIP] switch
to the up position, the fader to the 78 mark, and turn up an AUX control.
The input channel signal is sent to the effects processor.
2. Use the GROUP ASSIGN switches to assign the input channel signal to a
group.
The input channel signal is sent to the specified group.
3. Set the effects processor as required.
4. To send the processed signal to the track, press the ST INPUT GROUP
ASSIGN switch corresponding to the GROUP ASSIGN switch pressed in Step
2, and then turn up the ST INPUT level control.
Use the ST INPUT level control to balance the processed signal with the unprocessed signal that
is coming directly from the input channel. Use the input channel fader to adjust the level of the
unprocessed signal. Set the MONITOR SELECT to GROUP to monitor both signals.
With the balance set, you’re ready to record.
Applying Effects with Ping-Pong
1. To send an input channel signal to an effects processor, set the [FLIP] switch
to the up position, the fader to the 78 mark, and turn up an AUX control.
The input channel signal is sent to the effects processor.
2. Use the GROUP ASSIGN switches to assign the input channel signal to the
destination group.
The input channel signal is sent to the destination group.
3. Set the effects processor as required.
4. To send the processed signal to the track, press the ST INPUT GROUP
ASSIGN switch corresponding to the GROUP ASSIGN switch pressed in Step
2, and then turn up the ST INPUT level control.
Use the ST INPUT level control to balance the processed signal with the unprocessed signal that
is coming directly from the input channel. Use the input channel fader to adjust the level of the
unprocessed signal. Set the MONITOR SELECT to GROUP to monitor both signals.
With the balance set, you’re ready to perform the ping-pong operation.
