Method Three
You can quickly boost or cut a channel’s already selected EQ bands
from its “CH VIEW” screen:
1. Press the channel’s SELECT button.
2. Use the DOWN, UP, LEFT or RIGHT page buttons to select the
desired EQ band’s level control—the controls are displayed as “H”,
“M”, “L” knobs.
3. Use the VALUE dial to adjust the gain of the selected band.
4. Press LEVEL METER (BIG T.C.) to exit the “CH VIEW” screen when
you ‘re done adjusting the EQ.
Yet another convenient feature of the VM-3100 is its EQ Library. The
VM-3100 provides 16 preset EQ settings designed for specific
applications. The VM-3100 also provides 16 memory locations in which
you can store your own re-usable custom EQ settings.
Let’s say we’re recording a blues duo: an electric rhythm guitar player
and a slide guitarist. Channel 1 is controlling the rhythm guitar signal,
while the slide guitar’s on Channel 2. The presets in the VM-3100’s EQ
Library quickly provide the ideal EQ settings for these instruments.
Here’s how we’d use them:
1. Make sure you’re at the main mixer screen. If not, press LEVEL
METER (BIG T.C.).
2. Press F1-F4 ON/OFF.
3. Press F4 [EQ] to display the EQ settings screen.
4. If it’s not already lit, press Channel 1’s SELECT button.
5. Press F4 until “→ON” appears above it in the display. Press F4
again to turn the channel’s EQ on.
6. Press F1-F4 ON/OFF.
7. Press F1 [LOAD]—the “LOAD EQ LIB” screen appears.
8. Press F1 until “→Pre” (for “Preset”) appears above it in the display.
Press F1 again to select the VM-3100’s factory EQ presets.
9. Turn the VALUE dial clockwise to select “11 BluesGtr.”
10. Press ENTER/YES (REDO) to select the EQ preset.
11. “ARE YOU SURE?” appears in the display. Press ENTER/YES
(REDO) to confirm the selection.
12. Channel 1 is now set to use the BluesGtr EQ preset.
13. Repeat Steps 4-11 for Channel 2, selecting “12 SlideGtr” in Step 9.
14. Press LEVEL METER (BIG T.C.) to exit the EQ screen when you ‘re
done setting your EQ.
