Adjust the volume balance

Now let's adjust the volume of the instruments you've recorded up
to this point. The volume balance is the basis of mixing, so make
sure you get this right.
Press the [PART MIXER] button to access the MIDI TRACK mixer
screen. Press the [PLAY] button so you can hear the song while
you make adjustments.
Use the [Left/Right cursor] buttons to select the instrument
(track) volume you want to adjust; then use the [Down cursor]
button to select "LEVEL" and use the dial to adjust the volume.
Piano volume
Bass volume
For the AUDIO TRACK, press the [AUDIO TRACK] button and then
press the [MIXER] button to access the mixer screen. Here you can
make adjustments in the same way.
Guitar volume
Vocal volume
Drum volume
Press the [MIXER]
button to access the
mixer screen.

Adding reverb to piano and vocal can make the sound very beautiful. You might think of adding reverb to
other instruments as well, but slow down! There are some sounds that are best without reverb. As a rule, for
example, the kick drum and bass should have no reverb at all. If reverb is applied to low-frequency sounds,
the result can be mush. Even worse, the sense of rhythm gets blurred. A straight-ahead rock band will sound
better and more direct if you don't overdo the reverb. The appropriate amount of reverb will depend on the
style of music, so be aware of what you're doing, and use reverb wisely.

Use reverb to add space to the
sound
The reverberation in a church or concert hall is relatively long,
and this can add a beautiful character to the sound. In a recording
studio, this is simulated by a "reverb" processor. Let's add reverb to
the piano to give the sound some spatial character.
Press the [PART MIXER] button to access the mixer screen, and
then press the [CHO&REV] button. The eff ect adjustment screen
will appear.
Press the [CHO&REV]
button to access the
eff ect screen.
Reverb for the piano
Use the [Cursor] buttons to move the cursor to "REV" for track 1,
and use the dial to adjust it.
The vocal will also sound better if you add an appropriate amount
of reverb. You can use similar steps to add reverb to an AUDIO
TRACK. Go ahead and try it.
