Chapter 7: Advanced technique for mixing
3. Assign and to Tracks 11 and 12.
The L/R outs of the mixer section are assigned as input signals to Tracks 11 and 12.
4. Press the [RECORD SELECT] keys 11 and 12.
Tracks 11 and 12 enter record waiting mode.
5. Start recording on the DPS12.
TRACK MIX channels 1–10 signals are mixed in stereo and recorded onto Tracks 11 and 12.
TIP :
When you are using an external effect unit or an optional internal effect, route the effect return
signals to Master L/R via THRU MIX channels to perform ping-pong recording with the effects applied.
Refer to page 78 for more information on using an external effect unit, and page 120 for more information
on using an optional internal effect processor.
Using an external effect unit for mixdown
Using the DPS12’s AUX SEND A/B jacks enables you to send channel signals to an external effect unit and
mix the effect return signals with dry source sounds. This section explains how to use the AUX SEND A jack
to apply an external reverb effect with stereo output during mixdown.
1. Connect the AUX SEND A jack of the DPS12 to the input jack of an external reverb effect unit, and
connect the output jack of the reverb effect unit to INPUT jacks 1 and 2 of the DPS12. At this time,
make sure that the reverb effect unit outputs only the effect sound (reverb sound).
2. Press the [F1] key in Mixer mode, and raise the AUX SEND-A parameter for the TRACK MIX
channel to which you wish to apply reverb.
3. Press the [F2] key in Mixer mode, and use the SEND A MASTER parameter to adjust the AUX
SEND A master level.
Signals sent from the channels to AUX SEND A are input to the reverb effect unit. At this time, adjust the
SEND A MASTER parameter so that the SA meter of the THRU level meters in Mixer mode (the output level
of AUX SEND A) will not reach the maximum level. If the signals are still clipping at the input of the reverb
effect unit, lower the input level on the reverb effect unit.
4. Use the [INPUT GAIN] controls 1 and 2 to adjust the input level of the effect return signals routed to
INPUT jacks 1 and 2.
5. Press the [F2] key in Assign mode.
The DPS12 displays a screen in which you can route input signals to the recorder section as input sources or to
the THRU MIX channels of the mixer section.
6. Route and to .
The input signals at INPUT jacks 1–2 are sent to the THRU MIX channels of the mixer section.
