first reflections return to the listener. Predelay is
useful for adding clarity, as it delays these
reflections, before the onset of full reverberation.
For example, with pre-delay added to vocals, the
reflections won't start until after the initial sound of
a word has been sung.
Spread
Spread controls stereo imaging. A position of 12
o'clock produces essentially a mono image.
Turning the control all the way to the left
completely swaps the stereo image.
High and Mid frequency bands
The High and Mid frequency bands let you
independently control the reverb time for separate
frequency bands, relative to the low frequency
reverb time. The High setting represents the
bottom frequency of the High band; the Mid
setting represents the bottom frequency of the Mid
band. The Ratio determines the length for each
band specified in a percentage of the low frequency
reverb time.
DSP USAGE
The DSP Usage meter (item #32 on page 24) shows
how much of the available DSP processing power is
currently being used by the mixer for the mix and
for effects processing. If there aren't enough DSP
resources for all effects to be enabled on a channel,
effects are disabled for that channel and all
subsequent channels.
☛
Unlike other effects, HPF and EQ on a stereo
channel requires approximately twice the DSP
resources as on a mono channel.
