Applying the insert effects while you record (analog/rhythm only)
While you record, effects can be applied to the input from an instrument connected to the [INPUT 1] [INPUT 8/GUITAR IN] analog inputs, or to the built-in rhythm sound that is input to a mixer channel, so that the sound processed by the effect is recorded. 1 in 1out x 8 (mono in/mono out 8) For example when using eight mics to simultaneously record each instrument of a drum set, you can apply a separate effect program to each instrument, such as a Limiter to the bass drum, a Gate to the snare drum, and an Exciter to the tom while you record. You can also apply effects to the sound of an audio CD played back in the CD-R/RW drive. As an example, heres how to connect a guitar to the [INPUT 8/GUITAR IN] jack, apply effects, and record the sound on track 8. 1. Make connections, and select the track for recording. Refer to Connect a guitar to the [GUITAR IN] jack, and assign it to mixer channel 8 (p.36). 2. Access the [INSERT EFFECT] InsAsn tab page.
When using eight mics to record multiple instruments simultaneously, you could apply Gate to each instrument to reduce crosstalk between the mics, or apply Limiter to adjust the dynamics.
3. Press the Assign: button, and select Input(In). 4. Press the SelectEffType: button, and select the effect type. In the illustration for step 2, 1 in 1 out x 4 has been selected. 5.
