Mixing Down While
Inserting Effects
If a VS8F-2 effect expansion board (sold separately) is
installed, you can insert effects as you mix down.
While performing a mixdown, it is common to insert an
effect such as a parametric equalizer or a compressor. For
this example, we will insert the Mastering Tool Kit (EFX1;
p. 99) to adjust the overall volume balance as we mix down.
