More Zoom 1608 Help needed

[Nick Lowe]

I'm very new to this but recently purchased a Zoom 1608. I would like to apply insert effects at the mixing stage rather than messing around too much whilst recording and from what I can see.....(and according to the manual) these are limited to 2 tracks. A work around to be able to add addition insert effects is to bounce the effected tracks to anothwer V tack and this seems to work OK but it's a pain having to keep bounce recording tracks arouns especially if it's a long track as you have to wait for the re record process. Is there a better way of doing this....i.e. being able to apply, for instance, 8 different insert effects to 8 different tracks. Many thanks for taking the time to read this.....any information on the Zoom would be welcome.
