check it out shana i have actually utilized the post effects to the maximum.to any track like say i wanted an effect on track 8 i set it up for effect to 8 ,set the record input to bounce,and record that track w/effect to say 7,then after i got the effected track,move it to the virtual 2nd on 8,voila,you have a dry channel on 8-1 and the effected one on8-2,you can do this to all the tracks one at a time or in stereo or whatever you need.i always keep the dry track on the 1st,then usual i have a few different choices on the same track ,but virtual 2,3,4.make sense?i have been able to forgo the entire mixdown process by adding all the effects that i need for vocals,guitars,keys,everything.as long as you have available virtual tracks and time,always clean up after bouncing ,and optimize,to make sure you can keep on doing it.go to http:/.allwwwcet.com ,this is the stuff i did with my sister in colorado and philly,actually recorded her playing guitar and singing and in philly i added all the overdubs,but all the vocals are donbe the way i described and the guitars and other effects and e.q.ing was done by bouncing them singly with the effect or even just a better e.q. to a virtual track then moved back to the orinal track.just remember,you don't heve to ever erase any original dry thing.please listen to the 2 songs ,because ,the one song "just like me",it has multiple effects on the vocals,and certain tracks contain multiple effects and layering,but i wanted subtlety,so well........i dunno ,check it out.i hope i am making sense.there is thjis whole br-8 manifesto on the internet,do a search,because it tells of a lot of really neat tricks,and helps tons-good luck-
