FX [Reverb / Delay]
Now let’s take a look at the reverb and delay channel strips since they operate slightly diff erent than
channel strips 1-16. To get here, fl ick or drag left anywhere in the mixer view swipe zone until the
FX channels appear. The diff erences between the input channel strips and FX channel strips are
noted below. Channel 16 was left in the image on purpose to easily see the side-by-side diff erence
between an input channel strip and an FX channel strip.
Balance Slider
—
The pan slider becomes a balance slider on these two channels, now acting as a stereo
balance. It allows you to adjust how much of the left or right output signals are heard. Touch and drag
the sliders left or right to make adjustments. Center it to hear the output equally from the left and right
sides. The balance may be centered by double-tapping the balance ball.
No Gain Reduction Meters
—
There are no dynamics on FX channels, so the gain reduction meters
are not shown.
No High-Pass Filter
— There is no high-pass fi lter on FX channels, so it will be absent in the EQ view
for these two channels.
Stereo Meters
—
Because the FX channels are stereo returns, the meters are shown in stereo, not mono.
