SECTION 5 CONNECTING EFFECTORS
Numerous kinds ol sound manipulations are earned out
during a multitrack recording through the use ot various
sound orccesso's. Depending on the usage of a particular
p-occcEor. conncctons to the Vlcdc 8t2 may vary. Plcaec
reler to the foflowing illustrations.
1 When processing an effect on a particular channel (eg
compressors, limiters, delays, etc)
section 4 THE PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER
NOTE: Although the parametre equalizer is highly effective
in the tore control ol the original sound, during a micro
pnone recording it is equally important that one adjusts the
posrioninrj of the microphones and/or the type of micro¬
phone in order to achieve the desired tore quality
The MODFl fll? features two single-band parametric
equalizers along with a 10 kHz fixed-trequeno/ shebirrj-fype
eauali 2 er at each input channd. The two parametric equaliz¬
ers, which covet efferent frequency tanges. ran set frequen¬
cies wthin the ranges of 60Hz~1kHz and 40DH?-6kHz,
respectively. Ihey are also capable of ooostng and cutting
within the ±ibdB range and wil ce highly effective when
addng character to the lone qudity of tne sound signal Dy
manipulating the fundamental frequeicy and/or hatmonic
