VS-880 Application Guide

INPUT MIX / TRACK MIX Mode

INPUT MIX is used to mix live music from external sources with the tracks your have already recorded on

your VS-880. You will use INPUT MIX to mix the incoming sources and TRACK MIX to mix the pre-

recorded tracks – switching back and forth with the [SELECT] button.

TRACK MIX is useful for Track bouncing (recording two or more Tracks onto one Track or a stereo pair),

recording effects Pre and Post Fader, and recording multiple Inputs and/or Tracks to a stereo Track (1-2, 3-

4, etc.).

You can also use Track Mix to record a dry signal to one Track and the effect for that instrument to a

different Track. In other words, if you are recording a vocal with a reverb effect, you can record the dry

vocal to Track 1 and the reverb to Track 2. This will allow you to control the balance of dry vocal and

reverb during mixdown.

In addition, Track Mix allows you to mix Tracks 1 - 6 and Inputs 1 - 6 with EQ, panning and effects to

Tracks 7 - 8. This allows you to bounce tracks digitally within the VS-880, or to master a song recorded and

mixed on the VS-880 – back to the VS-880. If you don’t have a DAT recorder, this method allows you to

make a digital mixdown of your song inside the VS-880.

Now Time

Now Time indicates the exact location in your song where the VS-880 is stopped or playing. It is indicated

by the vertical black line in the center of the LCD display. You might think of this “now line” as the

playback head of a traditional tape recorder. The audio passes under it as it plays. For a look at how Now

Time is used in editing, see the graphic for ‘Finding Your Edit Points’ on Application Guide page 28.
