Effects and Signal Processing
Studio 32 Reference Manual 42
In a typical installation, Aux 4 is used for effect sends from the channel.
• To send signal from the monitor and the channel to the same effect device(s),
press the AUX SOURCE button down and press the TO 5/6 switch. Use AUX 5
and 6 for a combined effect send.
To set the level going to the effects device:
1 Set the Aux Send(s) in the input module to about “2 o’clock.”
2 Start the signal source(s); i.e., play the tape or instrument at typical levels.
3 Raise the appropriate AUXILIARY MASTER to about “2 o’clock.”
To check the output level, select AUX 3/4 or AUX 5/6 as the Control Room
Source, and set the Aux Master to a setting that gives an average meter reading
of “0 dB” on the L/R meter.
4 Raise the input control of the effects device until its meter or clip LED shows
peak level, then lower the input control a bit. Consult the manual for the effect
device for more information.
Some effect devices have level setting switches on the back; these should be set
so that a peak level can be reached with reasonable settings (neither too high
nor too low) of the input control.
To set the level coming FROM the effects device:
In most cases, the output level of the effect device itself should be set relatively
high, at nominal or maximum. Lower the output of the device only if the meter
keeps the +10 LED on when the Stereo Aux Return is soloed, or if the effect levels
are too loud even at low settings of the Stereo Aux Return LEVEL controls.
To hear effects in the control room monitors:
It’s possible to put effects into the monitor or headphone mix without recording
them to the multitrack.
1 Press the L/R switch of the Stereo Aux Return.
Make sure the GRP 1/2 or GRP 3/4 switches are in the up position. Otherwise,
the signal will be assigned to the group and effects may be sent to the
multitrack recorder.
2 Raise the Stereo Aux Return’s LEVEL control until you hear the desired volume
of effect return.
Remember that you can SOLO the Aux Return to make adjustments to the sound, if
desired, as long as the master solo select switch is in SIP (solo in place) mode (green
solo master LED). You will be hearing the output of the effects device only,
without any “dry” signal coming from the channel.
