Routing the outputs of the effects processors to a
record buss is common when bouncing tracks. If you do
not return the outputs of the effects processors to the
mix buss, the effects might not be heard the next time
you try and use them. Use the following procedure to
ensure that the outputs of the effects processors are
sent to the mix buss:
1) Hold the TRACK 1 STATUS button. If the EFFECT
1/3 RTN or EFFECT 2/4 RTN buttons begin to flash,
press them so that they stop flashing.
2) Repeat this procedure for tracks 2-16.
Another common reason for being unable to hear an
effects processor is that the master effect return for
that effect is set to 0. Use the following procedure to
check the master effect returns:
1) Press the MASTER EDIT/SOLO button to display the
MASTER screen.
2) Use the CURSOR buttons and the TIME/VALUE dial
to select the desired return level for EFX 1-4 (100 is
the default value).
The Scrub and Waveform Display functions of the
VS-1680 are extremely useful when performing track edits
such as cut, copy, and erase. The Waveform Display helps
you find exact edit points in your audio by providing a
graphic representation of a particular audio waveform. The
Scrub function allows you to hear that edit point by play-
ing back a loop (with a resolution as fine as 25ms) of your
audio. You can control the audio that is being looped by
selecting the track you want to hear and using the dial to
move the audio back and forth across the now line (the
solid line that runs across the middle of the Waveform dis-
play). To use the Scrub and Waveform Display functions
effectively, it is important that you understand the control
parameters used in each function.
