Use Virtual Tracks To Re-Use The Internal Effects

What do you do if you want to add a different reverb sound to each individual track of the VS-880EX
using only the 2 internal effects devices? You re-record two tracks at a time to new virtual tracks, using the
internal effects. Maybe you have a song recorded on all 8 tracks of your VS-880EX and you want to add
different effects to the first 6 of the 8 tracks. You might begin by selecting Tr. 1-1 and Tr. 2-1 to use the two
internal effects and bounce (re-record) them to Tr. 7-2 and Tr. 8-2. Once that is completed, you can listen to
Tr. 7-2 and Tr. 8-2. You can then select Tr. 3-1 and Tr. 4-1 to use the internal effects devices and record them
to Tr. 1-2 and Tr. 2-2. You can continue this process of re-recording instruments with effects onto unused
virtual tracks, until all the instruments have been recorded with the effect of choice. You can then select the
correct virtual track of each channel for playback and complete your final mix.
