About the Track Channel Faders
Each track channel strip provides a fader whose primary job is the
control of the channel's signal level. Faders are especially helpful
when adjusting, or "riding," signal levels during a mix.
The faders have markings printed to their left that show the
relative position of each fader in dBs. To the left of the channel
strips area, numbers are printed alongside these markings.
When a fader is at its 0dB position, it's neither adding to or
subtracting from the level of its recorded track. This position
is referred to as "unity gain," since the signal's level leaving
the fader is the same as it is coming into the fader.
When you load a project, the VS-2000 offers you a choice of how the faders take control
of the track channels' stored levels. See "FADER MATCH" on Page 380.
The VS-2000 provides a shortcut for setting a track channel's fader to its unity gain
position. This procedure also places the channel's signal to the center stereo position.

Selecting an FX Return Channel for Editing

button. To select an FX return channels and display its CH EDIT parameters (Page 227),
hold down its FX button for two seconds.

menu, described on Page 71.

The MASTER Fader

The MASTER fader—located at the far right of the channel strip area—
controls the overall level of the main stereo MASTER mix.
While Recording
During recording, you'll typically listen to the MASTER mix, so moving the
MASTER fader affects how loud the overall mix sounds. It's a good idea to set
it to 0db in this context, and then use the MONITOR or PHONES knobs to
actually set the listening level.
When you're recording, the setting of the MASTER fader has no effect on
the level of signal recorded on your tracks—it adjusts the level of the mix
you're listening to.
