VS-880EX Application Guide
Record A Guitar On Tr. 1, Record The Effects On Tr. 2
There are occasions when you might want to record your guitar ‘dry’ on Tr. 1-1, but record guitar effects on
another track. A typical reason for this is when you have one or two effects devices. If you want to use
individual effects on individual tracks, you will only be able to add effects to two tracks during mixdown
with two effects devices. By adding effects during recording, you can reuse the effects device during
mixdown for a different track. When you are completely sure about the type of effect you want to use and
the amount or volume of it, you can record it onto the same track with the instrument. However, when you
are unsure about the amount or level of an effect, you might want to record the effect on a separate track so
that during mixdown you can control the level of the instrument and the effect independently.
You will plug your guitar into Input # 1, set the VS-880EX to record it on Tr. 1-1, determine what effect you
will use, then set the effect to record on Tr. 2-1, and finally make the actual recording.
