tion where processing plug-ins such as noise gates or compressors can be used, almost as if they were plugged into
the insert point on the channel.
Signal processing plug-ins such as noise
gates or compressors can be used in
your Digital Audio Workstation routing
the signal back to the same ZED-R16
