How Do I Bounce Tracks with Effects?
If you are using effects, it can be beneficial to include the
output of the effects processor when you bounce tracks. This
is sometimes referred to as "printing" the effects. By printing
the effects, you make them a permanent part of the audio.
This also frees up the effect processor to be used on a
different track, or to add a different effect on the same track.
Use the following procedure to bounce Tracks 1-16 to Tracks
17 and 18 with effects:
If you want to switch the STATUS of tracks 13-18 and adjust
their mixer settings, press [FADER/MUTE] several times
until the "TR" indicator blinks.
"Switching the Fader Functions" (p. 71)
1. Assign Tracks 1-16 to any of the available effects
processors (1-4) as desired.
2. Hold [SHIFT] and press the SELECT button for the track
17 or track 18.
3. Press [F1 (Link)].
If "Link" does not appear above [F1], press [PAGE] until
you see "Link" above [F1], and then press [F1 (Link)].
4. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to select "ON."
5. Press [FADER/MUTE] several times until the "TR"
indicator lights.
6. Hold the track STATUS button (of any track) and press
[CLEAR].
7. Hold the track 17 or track 18 STATUS button and press
the Track 1-16 SELECT buttons consecutively so they are
flashing.
8. Hold the track 17 or track 18 STATUS button and press
the EFF RTN button for all of the effects processors being
used. For example, to record Effect 1 to Tracks 17 and 18,
hold the track 17 or track 18 STATUS button and press
EFFECT 1/3 RTN.
* If you are using Effects 3 or 4, you will need to hold Track 17/
18 STATUS, [SHIFT], and [EFFECT 1/3 RTN] or [EFFECT
2/4 RTN] to assign Effects 3 and/or 4 to be recorded on Tracks
17 and 18.
9. Press the track 17 or track 18 STATUS button until it is
set to Source mode (orange). Press the STATUS buttons
for Tracks 1-16 until they are set to Play mode (green).
10. Press [PLAY] and adjust the level and pan settings for
Tracks 1-16 as desired. Press [STOP] when you are finished.
11. Press the track 17 or track 18 STATUS button until it is
set to Record Ready mode (flashing red).
12. Reset your song to the beginning and press [REC]
followed by [PLAY].
13. Press [STOP] when your song is finished playing. Now,
Tracks 17 and 18 will contain a stereo mix of Tracks 1-16
with the effects included.
Chapter 23 Frequently Asked Questions
Why Can't I Hear My Effects?
If you have routed a track or input to one of the internal
effects processors (using the optional VS8F-2) and are having
difficulty hearing the output of the effects processor, the
problem can usually be traced to one of three scenarios: your
effects are either inserted on another track or input, the
output of the effects processor is routed to a RECORDING
bus instead of the MIX bus, or your effect return level for the
effect is set to zero.
If you have inserted an effect on a certain track or input, you
cannot use that effects processor on any other track or input.
Use the following procedure to ensure that Effects 1-4 are not
being used as insert effects:
1. Press the Input 1 SELECT button to display the Input
Mixer screen.
2. Use [
], [
], [
FX Ins icon and press [F6 (PRM.V)].
3. Use [
], [
], [
VALUE dial to set the Sw parameter to "Off" for all
inputs.
4. Press the Track 1 SELECT button to display the Track
Mixer screen.
5. Use [
], [
], [
VALUE dial to set the Sw parameter to "Off" for all
tracks.
6. Press the [EDIT/SOLO] button to display the Master
Block screen.
7. Use [
], [
], [
FX Ins icon and press [ENTER/YES]. Use the TIME/
VALUE dial to select "Off" for Effects 1-4.
Routing the outputs of the effects processors to a
RECORDING bus is common when bouncing tracks. If you
do not return the outputs of the effects processors to the MIX
bus, the effects might not be heard the next time you try and
use them. Use the following procedure to ensure the outputs
of the effects processors are sent to the MIX bus:
If you want to select track 1–12 STATUS, press [FADER/
MUTE] several times until the "TR" indicator lights.
If you want to select track 13–18 STATUS, press [FADER/
MUTE] several times until the "TR" indicator blinks.
