NOTE
• If the INSERT EFFECT is applied to the [MASTER]
fader, you cannot also use the INSERT EFFECT
on track inputs.
• At step 7, if you notice any distortion of the signals
because of the MASTERING EFFECT, check

it by lowering all the faders. (If a track sound is
distorted, adjust that track.)

algorithms. If you set another algorithm, the insert
position changes to the inputs.
