Why Use Effects?
The M-16DX can be used in a variety of situations, and effects can often play
a key role.
Recording In a DAW
When you're doing a multitrack DAW session, an
M-16DX reverb or delay loop effect can make it easier
to get a great performance, simply by making the
recording experience more musical and fun for your
performer. The effect is part of the M-16DX main mix, which isn't recorded in
a multitrack DAW session—the effect is just for listening purposes. You can
use the M-16DX internal effects in this way, or external effects.
In a two-track DAW recording session, you are recording the entire M-16DX
mix, and you can use the M-16DX effects to make your mix sound the way
you want it to.
In either type of session, you can polish signals going to your DAW from
M-16DX Input Channels 1 and 2 with the built-in insert effects.
Live Mixing and Audio/Video Production
When you're creating a stereo mix on the M-16DX,
you can use its insert effect on signals going through
Input Channels 1 and 2. You can add the internal
loop effect, or an external loop effect, to signals from
Input Channels 1-12.
Submixer
If you're using the M-16DX as a submixer onstage or in a studio, you can
use its effects the same way you'd use them in live mixing or audio/video
production.
Working with The M-16DX's Internal Effects
Selecting and Editing Internal Effects
Whether you're selecting and/or editing an internal loop or an insert effect
on the M-16DX, the process is essentially the same.
You can store effect selections and edits in scenes. To learn about
scenes, see the Using Scenes on the M-16DX Workshop booklet.
