Plus, in TRACK MIX mode you could have Tracks 1 - 6 and Inputs 1 - 6 all being mixed with EQ, panning
and effects to Tracks 7 - 8. Thus, you can master a song recorded and mixed on the VS-880 Ð to the VS-
880. This means, if you donÕt have a DAT machine (like the SAMPLE SETUP diagram on page 6), you can
lay the final mix down to two Tracks and make analog cassette dubs as many times as you want without
having to Òride the fadersÓ or perform any other kind of realtime mixing techniques each time you make a
dub. If youÕre using a sequencer, you can automate nearly every mixing control parameter on the VS-880 Ð
leaving your hands totally free.
Conventional Inline Mixer Analogy:
If youÕre familiar with a conventional inline mixer, then the following diagram will be helpful to you. The
VS-880 INPUT MIX/TRACK MIX mode is very much like a conventional mixer. If you think of INPUT MIX
mode as the bottom set of faders on an inline board and TRACK MIX mode as the smaller, top set of faders
or knobs, thatÕs pretty-much how these modes work together on the VS-880.
Where the Input signal coming from an audio source is monitored by the large faders on a typical console,
INPUT MIX mode on the VS-880 is much the same way. Similarly, the audio coming from tape (or in this
case the hard disk) is monitored in TRACK MIX mode like the smaller faders or knobs do on an inline
mixing console.
