10—Using the Digital Mixer
In this chapter, we'll discuss how to perform basic operations on the mixer. For an
introduction to the VS-2480's built-in digital mixer, see Chapter 3.

Changing Channels

As described on Page 52, all of the VS-2480's 64 mixer channels are active and available
at all times.

The four FADER buttons above the MASTER fader let you choose the type of channels
you want to work with. When you press the appropriate FADER button, the controls of
the 16 physical strips become the controls for the desired group of channels.

Switching Between Input, Track, Aux and FX Channels

You can turn the 16 physical channel strips into the channel controls you want with a
single button-press.

When you change what the channel strips control, the motorized channel faders move
to physically reflect their current channels' level settings.
If you ever get confused about what the channel strips are controlling, just look at the
four FADER buttons—they'll tell you at a glance what the channel strips are doing.
