Right now I've got some tapes recorded and I would like to put some effects on some of the pre-recorded tracks. I've got a reverb/delay unit running through the effects return/send, but I was wondering if theres a way I can put an effect, like delay, on just one track, permanantly. As it is right now, the unit has to be turned on and whatever effect I have it set to, all the tracks have that effect, which obviously I can adjust with the blue "EFF" nob. So is there anyway to bounce a track from say 8 to 1, and put the reverb on that track permanantly?
 
If your effects unit has the ability to blend the dry signal and wet signal, connect the track outut of track 8 to the LINE intout of mixer channel one and then use the channel insert patch for the reverb (the SEND and RCV jacks). Then you can set the level of dry vs. wet mix using the controls on the reverb unit.

What make/model reverb unit do you have?
 
Another way

you can do it is: have your vocal or instrument you want to record going to any channel, then patch the aux out to fx in. Then patch your fx out to any open channel line in ( or use a DI box to match signal and reduce noise). Adjust the aux output of your inst/vox channel. Set the buss to the same track you are recording on. You can use the fader to adust the level of the fx and you can use the eq on the fx. You should then have both wet and dry signal printed on the same track. :)
 
Sounds like the issue though is that he wants to bounce an existing track from dry to one printed with effects...not track a new track and print wet.
 
...Actually, no.

What you wrote would still work great if the reverb unit can't output a mix of wet and dry signals...

Track 8 output to channel 1 LINE input (or any open mixer channel for that matter), buss to track 1, effect send up on that channel to effect master to reverb box, reverb output to the LINE input of any other open mixer channel and just make sure that the effect knob is fully counter-clockwise on that channel to avoid a feedback loop...buss the reverb return channel also to track 1, blend and record to taste!

That's just your idea but applied to the track 8 output vs. new input, so...good thinkin'! ;):D
 
Thanks,

every so often the the brain kicks out a good one!
