Chapter 2: Understanding Your VS-880
Many DAT machines can be used as an analog to digital converter. Plug a microphone or line level
instrument into your DAT machine’s analog audio input and connect the digital output of the DAT
to the VS-880 digital input. You will probably have to put the DAT in Record/Pause mode to have
the audio pass through it without recording. Check your DAT manual.
After the audio signal passes through the EQ, Fader, and Pan can be routed to a stereo record buss (Track
1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8) or the MIX buss (speakers or headphones). The audio level recorded to disk is controlled
by the fader.
If you are recording to both Tracks of the stereo pair (Track 1-2 for example), the channel PAN
control determines the amount of audio signal recorded on each track. For example, it the PAN
control is set full left, the audio will only be recorded on Track 1. Alternatively, a panning com-
pletely to the right will record only on Track 2. If you set the PAN control in the center, an equal
amount of signal will be recorded on both Tracks 1 and 2.
TRACK MIX
The other half of this mixer mode is TRACK MIX. To adjust playback levels of Tracks you have already
recorded, switch to TRACK MIX mode.
Use the [SELECT] button to switch back and forth (toggle) between INPUT MIX and TRACK MIX mode.
You are essentially accessing two different mixers with the same set of physical controls (sliders, knobs,
buttons, etc.)
