Hello, I'm rather new to home studio recording and had a question about externally EQ'ing tracks with my VF160.

How would I EQ my tracks after they were recorded with an external EQ? Would I have to run the AUX out from the back of the VF160 to the external EQ and if so, what would be a good level to set the AUX send to get adequate signal back from the EQ? 99 would seem right to me. This doesn't seem to make much sense to me however since you would have to run the out going signal of the EQ back into one of the VF160's inputs and "record," in a manner of speaking, the newly EQ'd sound. That just seems like to much work in order to externally EQ every track and seems dangerous if you have filled all 16 tracks though the digital tracks may be used in order to keep the unprocessed tracks incase anything else must be done to them.

If anyone uses or used an external EQ with their VF160 please let me know how you did it.

Also if anyone has any suggestions on optimizing the onboard EQ that would be helpful. Right now I'm finding it's becoming inadequate for my mixes.

Thanks.
 
(1) The aux-->input is the usual procedure

(2) Export your tracks as WAV files and process them via software.

(3) If you want to maintain the original tracks, archive them.

By archiving do you mean backing up the files and if so does that mean if I ever need to reload an original track I would have to reload all the tracks and begin my mix over. What I'm asking is; does archiving save by the program or by the track and if it's by the track can I reload a specific track into a certain program. The user guide isn't that friendly and I can't seem to understand it without reading it 15 times. Thanks for your help.
 
(1) Archiving saves the whole program or individual/grouped tracks.

(2) Save as WAV for the greatest flexibility/portability of (only) audio data, and the ability to reload/import individual tracks back into the VF.

(3) Save as FDMS3 to save audio AND: all track settings (eq, pan, efx, etc.), efx, scenes, events, locate points, setup data, etc.

Good luck,
Paj
