Using Effects While Recording; Listening To An Insert Effect While Recording - Roland VS-1824 Owner's Manual

Using Effects While Recording

It is possible to apply effects while recording so that the
effect becomes a permanent part of the recorded track, or so
that the effect is only used during recording for monitoring
purposes. The method for applying effects while recording
depends on whether you want the track recorded with the
effect or not.
Here are a few recording terms you should be familiar with:
"Print"
This verb means the same as "record."
"Wet"
Processed using an effect. A wet track has an effect on it.
"Dry"
The track has no effects on it.
"Clean"
Same as "dry."
"Print Wet"
Record with an effect. Use an effect while recording so
that the effect becomes a permanent part of the
recording. If you print a vocal track "wet" using a
reverb, it is impossible to remove the reverb from the
vocal track later to hear just the "dry" vocal.
Four Methods of Using Effects While
Recording:

1. Listening to an Insert Effect While Recording

Using an insert effect while recording a track, without
the effect becoming a permanent part of the track.
2. Listening to a Loop Effect While Recording
Using a loop effect while recording a track, without the
effect becoming a permanent part of the track.
3. Recording Insert Effects
Using an insert effect while recording a track so the
effect becomes a permanent part of the track.
4. Recording Loop Effects
Using an Effect Loop while recording a track so the effect
becomes a permanent part of the track.
The most important thing to keep in mind while using effects
during the recording process is deciding whether you want
the effect to "print" or not. That decision will determine
where the effect should be connected. In some cases, the
effect will need to be connected in the Input Mixer. In other
cases, the effect will need to be connected in the Track Mixer.
Chapter 7 Using Internal Effects (VS8F-2)
Listening to an Insert Effect While
Recording
Use the following procedure when you want to record a
guitar track dry, without any effects or processing, while
allowing the guitar player to hear the guitar processed by
one of the guitar amp simulators in the VS-1824.
General Strategy: Insert the effect in the Track Mixer.
Details for this Example: Select Patch P088 as FX1, insert on
Track Mixer Channel 8.
Begin by Selecting the Effect:
1. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].
2. Hold [SHIFT] and press [F3 (EFFECT A)].
3. Press [F1 (FX1)]. The Effect 1 screen appears in the
display. If "FX1" does not appear above [F1], press [F6
(EXIT)] until it does. Then, press [F1 (FX1)].
4. Press [F2 (Sel)]. The effects list appears in the display.
5. Use the TIME/VALUE dial or [
and [ ] to move the cursor to Effect Preset Patch P088
"Guitar Multi 1."
6. Press [F4 (Exec)] or press [ENTER/YES] to select the
effect. The EFFECT 1 screen appears in the display.
Next, Set up the Track Mixer
1. Press the SELECT button for Track 8. The button
indicator lights, and the Track Mixer Screen appears in
the display.
2. Use [
], [ ], [
cursor to "FXIns." Or, press [F1 (FX1In)]. If "FX1In" does
not appear above [F1], press [PAGE] a few times until
you see "FX1In," and then press [F1 (FX1In)]. This will
move the cursor directly to "FXIns."
3. Press [ENTER/YES].
4. Use [
] and [
TIME/VALUE dial to change the Effect Insert Switch to
"Ins."
5. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display.
Now you're ready to record as usual.
Later, when you play the track with the effect still inserted,
you will hear the effect. This doesn't mean you've recorded
the track with the effect. As soon as you turn the effect off,
you'll hear the dry guitar. This is a great way to record, as it
provides you the flexibility to decide which effect to use after
the recording has been made.
