Work with the Final effect:

The Final effect is an independent processor with 32 preset and 32 user Final effect programs available. It is
located at the end of the effect routing scheme in the D1600, and is used for "mastering" and dynamics
applications. During mixdown you can use a Final effect to "polish" your mix as you master your work to
external DAT, MD, etc. The assigned Final effect will also be “printed” to tracks (including Virtual tracks)
during bounce recording operations.

Note: Like the Master effects, the demo song includes an already

assigned Final effect.
