Creating Songs with the U-8 and Cubasis VST
■
Using Effects to Create Sounds
In “Step 3: Press the GUITAR/INST Button or the MIC Button to Get Ready
to Record,” a patch containing the effect of a guitar distortion sound was
selected. Now, we will see how to use the Effects Edit screen.
Applying Delay Effect to Vocals
The U-8 provides
Vocal Multi
allowing you to apply a rich range of effects.
In this example, we’ll use
Wet Vocal
to add reverberations to vocals.
