21.  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.

22.  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:

23.  In the AUTOMATION MODES section of the 

console, select FADER and MUTE. Turn off the 
BYPASS button.

Editor) to see the automation moves. Select 
Channels > Ch. 1 in the Show drop-down box at 
the top of the Mix Editor to see the recorded fader 
moves and mute action relative to the time code.
