Enhancing The Sound (Loop Effects); Applying Reverb - Boss BR-1600CD Basic Operation Gude

Mixing audio from various tracks onto a stereo track (Mix Down)

Enhancing the sound (Loop Effects)

The BR-1600CD's mixer features CHORUS/DELAY/DOUBLING and REVERB as loop effects. When used correctly,
these effects can add a feeling of spaciousness and depth to the sound.
What are Loop Effects?
Effects that are connected between a mixer's effect-send and effect-return are referred to as Loop Effects. With this
type of effect, you can adjust the degree to which the sound is affected by changing the send level for the
corresponding mixer channel (or in our case, for the corresponding BR-1600CD track). Since each track has its own
send level, the degree to which each track is affected can be easily changed—for example, a lot of reverb can be
applied to vocals, a little reverb can be applied to drums, and so on. In contrast to insert effects (p. 26), which affect a
particular sound, Loop Effects can be said to affect the overall sound.
For more detailed information regarding settings, refer to "Using loop effects" (Owner's Manual; p. 112).
