20. In the Reverb panel, click the Src L drop-down
box and select Channel Post Insert > Ch. 1
Post. This places the reverb in the post-insert
loop on channel 1.
21. Adjust the reverb parameters using the V-Pots
at the bottom of the Effects Rack. You should
see the Left Input and Output meters move as
you talk or sing into the microphone.
Note: A more typical use for an effect in the Ef-
fects Rack might be to route several channels to an
Aux Send; for example, all the background vocals
to Aux Send 1. Route Aux Send 1 to the input of
the effect in the Effects Rack by selecting it in the
Src (Source) drop-down box. The Aux 1 master
fader (Masters Fader Bank) is used to control the
amount of signal being sent to the effect. Return
the effects signal to the signal path by selecting the
effect's output for the input of an unused channel.
To write some basic automation:
22. In the AUTOMATION MODES section of the
console, select FADER and MUTE. Turn off the
BYPASS button.
