Single effect

The single effect provides you with a quality effect in
the internal effect loop. This is most useful in the
mixdown and mastering stages, but it can be used at
any time.

The send level to this effect is controlled by the chan-
nels’

LOOP

levels (“Effect send” on page 23) and the

master

LOOP

level.

The return from this effect is sent to the stereo master
bus, or to the bounce sub mix (“Making a bounce
mix” on page 49).

Press the

SINGLE

EFFECT

key. It lights, and the

screen changes to the

SINGLE EFFECT

screen:

Press the

ENTER

key to enter the library screen to

recall a preset effect or a user effect or to save the
current parameters.

rent parameters.

Saving your own settings

Like the mic and multi-effects, it is possible to save
and name your own single effect settings, either over-
writing an existing setting or adding a new setting.

In the library, no matter what name you give to an
effect (for example

), the three-letter

abbreviation of the original preset that was edited to
create the user setting is always shown (for example
