Selecting mic effects
The parameters to be edited for the effects differ according
to the type of effect selected. See “Appendix” on page 103
for details about editing the parameters of different types
of effects.
TIP
If you are unsure of the operation of a compressor or
any of the effects described here, it is a good idea to
read one of the many excellent introductory books on
audio and recording.

the parameters on each channel. You must assign the
mic effects in order to use them.
