3. Final effect
One stereo-in stereo-out effect is provided as the final
effect. It applies to the master LR output (→diagram on
preceding page).
The final effect is used mainly for dynamics processing
(compression etc.) to make the overall level more con-
sistent.
During mixdown, you can use the final effect to apply
mastering effects such as a multi-band limiter, in order
to polish the mix for CD-quality results.
1 Access the [MASTER EFFECT/AUX] “FinalEff”
tab page.
2 Select an effect program.
Select “Ef
fectNumber,” and rotate the [VALUE]
dial to select the desired effect program.
Play back, and listen to the output from master LR
to hear the result of the effect.
4. Editing an effect
You can edit (modify) the effect programs that are used
as insert effects, master effects, and final effects.
If you change the “Ef
fectNumber” or turn off the
power without saving, your edited effect settings
will be lost. If you wish to keep your edited set-
tings, you must execute the Store operation.
