02R Getting Started Guide
By default (assuming you are still working with Scene Memory 0 "0 Initial
Data") the effect return channel is routed to the stereo bus.
Note: Although you cannot route the effect return channel to the direct outputs,
you can route it to the same bus that the input channel is routed to, allowing you to
record the effect together with the input signal.
Many engineers prefer to add effects only during the final mix. It is very easy to
apply effects, but difficult to remove it once it has been recorded. You may want to
send the effect to the monitor mix, however, especially when recording a
vocalist—many vocalists dislike hearing their voice "dry" in the monitors.
5. Select the EQ graph with the CURSOR buttons and press the
[ENTER] button.
The 02R will automatically switch to the EQ 1/2 page. Follow the steps
detailed in "Applying EQ" on page 24 of the Getting Started Guide to set the
EQ for the effect return channel EFF 1 RTN.
Note: Many engineers prefer to hold off applying EQ to a recording until they
are ready to mixdown. Again, it is much easier to apply EQ than to subsequently
remove it.
