Vocals with/without effects
5 Aug 2009, 11:55Hi, I looked in the manual(s), searched this forum, and even tried to email Roland support (over a week ago - still no response). So a few days ago I posted this question on the forum.
"When recording a vocal, how can I hear the vocal with effects (reverb, delay, etc) through the headphones - but acutally record the vocal dry - without effects (reverb, delay, etc)". That way, later, if I want to, I can change the effects without having to re-record the vocal.
Of the responses I recieved:
1. One person said it can't be done.
2. Another person said - "Sure it can be done. When you record the vocal track, make sure you select "Solo", not "Solo w/ FX". To monitor the vocals with effects, just select the MFX1 or MFX2 and the chorus / reverb sends... If you want to later add MFX1 or MFX2 on the vocal track... just route it to MFX1 or MFX2.
I tried this and everything else I can think of and I still can't seem to get it to work. As soon as I select "SOLO" I can no longer hear the effects in the headphones. If I change anything so I CAN hear the vocal with effects in the headphones the effects also get recorded on the vocal track.
I'm probably just missing something simple or doing something wrong because recording vocals this way is common prodeedure in recording studios - still I can't seem to figure it out.
Does anybody know for sure if this is possible on Fantom G6 - or not. And if it can be done will someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong, or give me a more detailed explanation on how to do it?
Thanks for your patience and your help - Jim
