Use Virtual Tracks To Re-Use The Internal Effects

What do you do if you want to add a different reverb sound to each individual track of the VS-880 using
only the 2 internal effects devices (if installed)? You re-record two tracks at a time to new virtual tracks,
using the internal devices. Maybe you have a song recorded on all 8 tracks of your VS-880 and you want to
add different effects to the first 6 of the 8 tracks. You might begin by selecting Tr. 1-1 and Tr. 2-1 to use the
two internal effects and bounce (re-record) them to Tr. 7-2 and Tr. 8-2. Once that is completed, you can
listen to Tr. 7-2 and Tr. 8-2. You can then select Tr. 3-1 and Tr. 4-1 to use the internal effects devices and
record them to Tr. 1-2 and Tr. 2-2. You can continue this process of re-recording instruments with effects
onto unused virtual tracks, until all the instruments have been recorded with the effect of choice. You can
then select the correct virtual track of each channel for playback and complete your final mix.
