11—Input and Track Channel Tools
The ATT parameter can be particularly handy when you're working with a digital input
signal, since its input level is set by the device producing it. You can adjust its input
channel's ATT value to place the signal at a proper level (Page 58).
When you're working with analog input signals, you won't usually need to change the
ATT setting if you've properly set your input levels (Page 126). The same is true if you've
recorded your tracks correctly, as described on Page 58. Even so, the ability to adjust the
level of the signal coming into a channel can be handy if the need arises.
6. DYNAMICS
The DYNAMICS section provides an on/off switch that lets you turn
the channel's dynamics tools on or off from the VIEW screen, and
graphically shows you the current dynamics settings. The channel's
dynamics parameters are found on its DYN screen (Page 152).
When the DYNAMICS on/off switch is selected, press the flashing
Dynamics on/off
ENTER/YES button to jump directly to the DYN screen.

7. EQ
EQ on/off switch
In the VIEW screen's EQ section, you can see the channel's
current EQ settings presented in graphic form, and can turn all
of the channel's EQ bands on or off with a single switch. Set the
channel's EQ parameters on its EQ screen (Page 157).
When the EQ on/off switch is selected, press the flashing ENTER/YES button to jump
directly to the EQ screen.
8. Channel Output Meter
9. Channel Output Meter Pre/Post Switch
The channel output meter shows the level of the channel's signal as it leaves
the channel. With an input channel, this is particularly important since it
shows the level at which the signal is being sent to a track and recorded—in
essence, it's the recording level (see Page 173). When you're creating a mix,
Pre/post
the meter can help you visually keep track of a channel's level.
switch
The channel output meter pre/post switch allows you to set the channel output meter
so it shows the channel signal's pre-fader level or post-fader level—it can be set to Pre
("Pre-fader") or Pst ("Post-fader"). Most of the time, leave it to set to Pst to show the
channel's final output level. The Pre setting is useful if you're using a pre-fader Aux
(Page 148) or Direct path (Page 151) and want to view the level of the channel's signal
before it's sent. Also, if you want to verify that a track has been successfully recorded,
set its track channel meter to Pre—this lets you see the recorded signal level.
10. MIX
When MIX is turned on, the channel's signal is sent into the VS-2400CD's
MASTER mix. When it's turned off, it's not. When you're mixing, each track channel's
MIX parameter must be turned on to hear its signal in the mix.
