Chapter 3: Recording Applications

Sometimes you want to make an original recording into the VS-880 with some type of effect added to the

track during the recording. You might want to change the EQ of the guitar before it is recorded and add

some type of interesting delay effect as you record it. The most common reason to record instruments with

effects is to save your effects devices for use on other channels during mixdown. For example, if you only

have the two internal effects devices in the VS-880 and you have 8 tracks of recording, you may need to

add some of the effects during recording, so the effects device can be used on a different track during

mixdown. One negative aspect of recording with effects is that you cannot remove the effect from the track

if you decide later that you don’t like it. You would need to re-record the track without the effect in order

to remove it. The example uses the optional VS8F-1 Effect Expansion Board.

You will set up the VS-880 to record your instrument on Tr. 1-1. You will then select that type and amount

of effect that you wish to use. The final step will be to actually record your instrument on Tr. 1-1 with the

effect. There are different methods for accomplishing this, depending on the mixer mode you are using.
