treatments work well on synth pad sounds such as strings
and are best used in stereo where they create a sense of
movement as well as width.
Pitch Shifters
These change the pitch of the original signal, usually by up
to one octave in either direction and sometimes by two.
Small pitch shifts are useful for creating de-tuning or
doubling effects. Which can make a single voice or
instrument sound like two or three, while larger shifts can
be used to create octaves or parallel harmonies.
NB: For useful effects settings with different instruments refer to
Section 6 ‘In the Studio’.
Setting up an effects loop
• Set effect unit to full ‘wet’ signal
• Connect your effect units as per
Section 2, Input Devices.
• On the relevant input channel,
set the post fade aux to
maximum
• Select AFL on your aux master
• Set aux master level so that the
meters read ‘0’
• Adjust input level on effects
unit until ‘effects meters reads
‘0’ (nominal)
NB: You can now use the mixer AFL
meters to monitor effects unit levels
as both meters have been
calibrated.
• Release aux master AFL and
select effects return PFL
NB: If you are using a simple stereo
input with no PFL, adjust input
gain for required effect.
• Adjust effects return input gain
until meters
read around ‘0’.
• De-select PFL and adjust effects
return fader level
for required effect level.
NB: The original ‘dry’ signal is mixed
with the effects ‘wet’ signal.
Pre- and Post-fade Auxiliaries
Pre-Fade
Pre-fade auxiliaries are independent of the fader so that the
amount of effect will not change with new fader levels. This
means you will still hear the effect even when the fader is at
the bottom of its travel.
Post-Fade
It is important to use post fade auxiliary sends for effects
units. This is because post fade auxiliaries ‘follow’ the input
fader so that when input level changes the amount of effect
remains proportional to the new input level.
NB: Effects Return Aux Post Control must be set to minimum or
feedback will occur
