11—Input and Track Channel Tools
7. EQ
In the VIEW screen's EQ section, you can see the channel's
current EQ settings presented in graphic form, and can turn all
of the channel's EQ bands on or off with a single switch. Set the
channel's EQ parameters on its EQ screen (Page 160).
When the EQ on/off switch is selected, press the flashing ENTER/YES button to jump
directly to the EQ screen.
You can control a channel's EQ tools directly from the VS-2000 using the
CH PARAMETERS controls—see Page 167.
8. Channel Output Meter
9. Channel Output Meter Pre/Post Switch
The channel output meter shows the level of the channel's signal as it leaves
the channel. With an input channel, this is particularly important since it
shows the level at which the signal is being sent to a track and recorded—in
essence, it's the recording level (see Page 177). When you're creating a mix,
the meter can help you visually keep track of a channel's level.
The channel output meter pre/post switch allows you to set the channel output meter
so it shows the channel signal's pre-fader level or post-fader level—it can be set to Pre
("Pre-fader") or Pst ("Post-fader"). Most of the time, leave it to set to Pst to show the
channel's final output level. The Pre setting is useful if you're using a pre-fader Aux or
FX bus (Page 151), or Direct path (Page 154), and want to view the level of the channel's
signal before it's sent. Also, if you want to verify that a track has been successfully
recorded, set its track channel meter to Pre—this lets you see the recorded signal level.
10. MIX
When MIX is turned on, the channel's signal is sent into the VS-2000's MASTER
mix. When it's turned off, it's not. When you're mixing, each track channel's MIX
parameter must be turned on to hear its signal in the mix.
As shipped from the factory, all of the VS-2000's input and track channels are sent into
the MASTER mix. You may want to remove the input channels from the mix during
recording so that you're not bothered by unwanted input channel signals as you play
back your recorded tracks. See Page 173.
11. FADER
The FADER parameter sets the output level from the channel. On track
channels, changing this parameter is the same thing as moving the channel's
physical fader.
When a channel is linked with its odd/even partner (Page 150, Page 154), the
appearance of the FADER parameter changes to a stereo fader to show that
adjusting the parameter's value changes the level for both linked channels.
You can quickly jump to this parameter by pressing F2 (FADER)—see
Page 166.
