You really need to read the manual.Even though a machine such as the BR1600 is advertised as being simple to operate it's a comparitive term.

IF the BR is anything like the old VS series you only get two effects simultaneously and you need to print some effects in order to free them up for use down the road in the mixing process.Learn the difference between an insert effect and an effect send too.


I don't know what you are paying to rent the BR and I can appreciate someone being low on funds,but the reality of the situation is that you would probably be better off buying one and having the time to learn it and use it properly getting good results rather than trying to force it due to time constraints and cutting yourself short on the quality of the final product.

Yo Gal with Rhythm and the BR:Call SWEETWATER--free call.* Ask a techie about how to get your reverb into the vocal.In most units, you can add the reverb when mixing and pump or dump it to your the desires of your ears.** I speak of studios in a box; however, the PC systems work about the same way, only with a mouse.Sweetwater offers this techie advice; I don't work there.* I take help wherever I can get it.* Especially true if you are a customer but not necessary.Try "stage reverb" for vocals.* Don't bounce it too much and you will enjoy the results.Green Hornet
