VS-880 Application Guide

Record 4 Mics, Using Internal Compressor, To 1 Track

What if you want to record multiple microphones to a single track of the VS-880 simultaneously using one

of the internal compressors? For example, maybe you have four background vocalists that you wish to

record on a single track using individual microphones for each one. You may also want to use an internal

compressor to control the final dynamic range of the recorded signal.

You would first connect the four microphones to the four inputs of the VS-880. You will select these inputs

to faders 1 through 4 of the VS-880, select the correct Mixer mode, select the compressor, select each

channel to record onto Tr. 1-1, adjust their individual levels, and then record all four vocalists on Tr. 1-1.
