Using The Internal Effects When Bouncing - Roland VS-880EX Application Manual

Using The Internal Effects When Bouncing

When bouncing multiple recorded tracks down to a single mono or stereo track, you may want to add
effects during the bouncing process. For example, you might want to take the six background vocal tracks
(see Bouncing Tracks 1 through 6 to 7 & 8), and add some reverb to each individual vocal track during the
bounce down.
To accomplish this, you will need to first assign tracks 1 through 6 to record on Tr. 7-1 and Tr. 8-1. You will
also need to select the tracks to add effects and assign them to the effect of choice. The effect output must
be routed to Tr. 7-1 and Tr. 8-1 as well. Once you have made your level, EQ, panning, effects, and other
creative choices, you will record the six tracks down to two tracks.
