Feature: For both BUSS A and BUSS B, the FLIP BUTTONS reverse the position of the inserts in pairs.
Benefit: For example, to answer the age old mastering question of “what should come first, my equalizer or limiter?” let’s say
the Variable Mu™ limiter is in
INSERT 1 and the BAX EQ is in INSERT 2. To audition them in reverse order, simply hit the
FLIP 1-2 switch. Now you are monitoring the BAX EQ into the Variable Mu™ limiter.
Tip: : Want to take advantage of PARALLEL PROCESSING for the Variable Mu™ limiter in the above example? Since the PARALLEL
PROCESSING LOOP affects whatever processor is positioned in the even numbered inserts (i.e. 2, 4 and 6), and the Variable
Mu™ limiter is connected to
INSERT 1, simply reverse the order of the inserts with the FLIP 1-2 switch and take advantage
of actions like the blending of extreme limiting or compression. Now the
INSERT 1 BUTTON will blink slowly, indicating it’s
activation in the
PARALLEL PROCESSING LOOP.
Tip: : The FLIP BUTTONS affect both BUSS A and BUSS B simultaneously.
5. THE PARALLEL PROCESSING LOOP BUTTONS
[PARALLEL PROCESSING LOOP BUTTONS PICTURED ABOVE]
Feature: PARALLEL PROCESSING LOOP for the outboard equipment positioned in the even numbered inserts (i.e. 2, 4 and 6).
Benefit: PARALLEL PROCESSING allows the original and effected signals to be blended independently. See tips below.
Tip:
 Example 1: crush the drums with heavy compression for tight, explosive impact, while mixing in the original to retain
transients and dynamics.
Tip:  Example 2: add a touch of reverb to an entire mix to pull the group together in one space.
Tip:  Example 3: blend a dash of the original, unprocessed signal into the end of the chain for clarity.
Tip:
 Example 4: mix in Dolby A in encode only to add some air (i.e. lead vocal on Journey’s, “Don’t Stop Believing” or for a
more extreme example, Def Leppard Hysteria background vocals).
Operation: Depress the PARALLEL PROCESSING LOOP button to select the appropriate piece of outboard gear and engage FLIP BUTTONS as
needed.
Tip:
: Want to take advantage of PARALLEL PROCESSING for INSERT 1, not INSERT 2? Simply reverse the order of the inserts with the
