What is the “effect return” mixer?
To have the VS be in the “effect return” mixer mode, press the FADER [EDIT] button until it turns red. The effects return mixer does 2 functions: it allows you to route a “Stereo In” signal to a pair of tracks or to a buss, and it allows you to route the returned signal of a send/return effect (like reverb). When working with effects, the returned signal of a send/return effect is routed to the mix buss. If you are going to bounce one or more source tracks to one or more destination tracks, and you want the returned signal from the send/return effects recorded as well, you’ll need to route the returned signal of the effect(s) to one or more destination tracks.
