You can see the channel's output level in the channel output meter
(Page 152).
If a channel is linked (Page 150), you can individually adjust its FADER value by
pressing ENTER/YES when FADER is selected—a pop-up window with a common
stereo fader and individual faders appears. Press ENTER/YES again when you're done
setting FADER values in the pop-up window.
12. PHASE
Conflicting air-pressure changes produced by two sound waves can result in the
two sounds canceling each other out momentarily—the sounds can disappear
altogether. More typically, a "swirling" effect will be heard. This happens most
frequently in situations with multiple mics placed close together, as when a drum kit is
being recorded. To fix this, change the PHASE switch value from Nrm ("Normal") to
Inv (for "Invert") to reverse the timing, or "phase," of one or more of the signals until
their sound waves agree and the problem is resolved.
13. GROUP
The VS-2000 provides 12 fader groups, each of which lets you to simultaneously
control the level of a group of input, track and/or FX return channels while maintaining
the volume differences between them. This can be extremely helpful if you're happy
with the way a group of signals work together, but you need to make all of them louder
or softer. Rather than having to individually adjust each channel's FADER level, you
can assign them to a fader group and change only a single FADER value to raise or
lower their levels as one unit, preserving the delicate balance you've established
between them.
To Assign Channels to a Fader Group:
1. Set the individual channels' levels as desired.
2. Display the CH EDIT VIEW screen for the first channel you want to add to the
3. Set GROUP to the number of the fader group you want to use, from 1 to 12.
4. Repeat Steps 2-4 for the other channels you want to include in the group, using the
Once the channels have been grouped, you can change any of their FADER values to
simultaneously raise or lower the levels of all of the group's channels. To remove a
channel from a group, set its GROUP parameter to OFF.
You can control the level of the track-channel fader groups using the track channel strip
faders—see Page 140. If you've connected a VGA to your VS-2000, you can also assign
channels to groups on the fader groups' multi-channel view page.
You can change the level of a track channel in a fader group without affecting the
group's other channels by holding down CLEAR and moving its fader to the desired
position. When you release the CLEAR button, the channel is returned to fader group
control.
