Applying Effects at Mixdown

One of the typical uses of external effects processors connected to AUX SENDs is to apply

reverb effects to track signals during mixdown. In this case, you can adjust the amount of

effects for each track individually using the AUX 1 and AUX 2 controls.

1Connect AUX SEND 1 to the input of an

effects processor, and connect the outputs of

the effects processor to STEREO INPUT 5L/6R.

Set the effects processor so that it will output

only the processed signal.

2Set the [INPUT-FLIP] switches on Input
Channels 1–4 to “TAPE ( )”.

Tracks 1–4 signals are sent to Input Channels 1–4.

3Set the monitor select switch to “STEREO”.
4While playing the tape, use the faders, PAN

controls and EQ controls on Input Channels

1–4 to adjust the volume balance, stereo

image, and tonal quality of each track.

5Turn up the AUX 1 control of the input

channel to which you wish to apply effects.

Channel signals (playback sound of Tracks 1–4) are

sent to the effects processor connected to AUX SEND

1. Adjust the input level on the effects processor, if

necessary.

6Turn up the LEVEL control for STEREO INPUT

5L and 6R.

The processed signal is returned from the effects

processor and added to the Stereo bus of the MT400.

The more you turn up the LEVEL control, the more

effects you can obtain.
