16—Using Effects
In this chapter, we’ll describe how to use the VS-2400CD’s effect processing power.
We’ll detail how to:
• set up a loop effect.
• insert an effect on an input or track channel, or the MASTER bus.
• add effects to a headphone mix.
• select effects.
• edit effects.
• save effects.
For the basics on the VS-2400CD’s effects and why they’re useful, see Chapters 3 and 5.
Using Loop Effects
When you want to add reverb or a delay to your input, track or FX
return signals, use a loop effect. Loop effects add effect processing
to a signal—they don’t replace it—so that you end up with a
combination of the original dry signal and the effect.
The following sections explain how to set up an internal and
external loop effect. Whether you’re recording a loop effect on
tracks or adding them during a mix, the process is the same—the
only difference is where you send the effect’s output signal when
you’re done, as described in Chapter 17, “Working with FX Return
Channels.”
Setting Up an Internal Loop Effect
Play Now, Learn Later
If you’ve just created a new project and would like to quickly start experimenting with
loop effects—and learn about their mechanics later on—you can. When you create a
new project that doesn’t copy the settings of the currently loaded project (Page 92), the
VS-2400CD routes Aux Busses 1-4 to Effects 1-4, respectively. Therefore:
1. Press the FADER button that selects the group of channels containing the input or
track channel you want to use.
2. Press the desired channel’s CH EDIT button.
3. Use one of the channel’s Aux send controls (Page 148) to send some of the channel’s
signal to the same-numbered effect—use the first set of controls to send the signal
to Effect 1, for example. Try a send level of 0.0 dB as a start.
4. Press AUX 1-8/FX 1-4.
5. Adjust the effect’s level in the MASTER mix using its FX return channel fader
(Page 223).
6. Select the desired effect—see “Selecting Effect Patches” on Page 215.
7. Repeat Steps 1-3 for any other input or track channels you want to send into the
effect.
