Greetings: "Lil' Blue" is my affectionate name for my new VF 80 CDR. I flipped in relief when I found this forum, but was surprised no one had already posted a gripe about the incomprehensibility of the user manual. It's really bad once you get past the "recording to one track" section, and Fostex tech service admitted this to me. "No, we don't plan to change it, though everybody gripes about it. Ha ha!" Yeah, that's hilarious.
First question: When you're inserting (in my case, trying) effects after a dry track is made, you go to "effects" and all these preprogrammed hall effects make themselves available. I scan down to one I like, but how do I actually add the effect to the track? Do you just hit enter? Or do you have to run the record function again? I replayed the track and heard no difference. I'm sure I screwed it up.
Second, if you pick one of the standard preset hall effects, and change, say, the reverb setting on that given preset, does it revert to original state when you exit and then go to add that effect to a different track or program? Or does it assume I want a "+5" reverb level for that "hall" everytime I pull it up? I don't want to mess up the preprogrammed effects.
Thanks. I have a hundred more questions, but that's enough for tonight. Don't want to wear out my welcome.
