Tutorial 4: Mixing and effects
FX channels
Now let’s show you how to create and use FX channels.
1. Close the Mixer and choose “FX Channel” from the
Add Track submenu of the Project menu.
2. Choose “Stereo” for “Configuration”, select the “Ping-
PongDelay” effect and click OK.
3. We are going to put delay on the “Elec Guitar” track.
Experiment until you find the best effect settings.
The included effects are described in detail in the separate pdf document
Plug-In Reference.
4. With the delay set, click the “Edit Channels Settings”
button of the “Elec Guitar” track.
5. Select “FX 1-PingPongDelay” from the “Select Send
Destination” pop-up menu.
6. Click the “Activate Send 1” button to turn on the send.
This will allow you to send the guitar to the “PingPong-
Delay”.
7. Move the slider to the right to raise the level of the
send to the “PingPongDelay” effect. You will begin to hear
the guitar being delayed. Clicking the “S” (solo) button on
the track will allow you to hear this more clearly.
8. The great thing about FX Channels is that the channel
looks and feels just like a regular audio channel. When you
set an EQ for an FX Channel, only this effect will be
changed by the EQ. In our case changing the EQ on the
“FX 1–PingPongDelay” FX channel will only change the
EQ of the delay.
