V-Stack

V-STACK
8 – 102 Audio effects
Background
V-STACK allows you to process your VST Instruments through VST
effect plug-ins in various configurations. There are three basic “effect
types”:
• Send effects
Up to eight send effects can be used. When you use send effects, audio is routed
through the effect processors via independent effect sends for each channel, just like
on a “real” physical mixer. The output from each effect processor is then routed to one
of the buses or the master fader, where it is mixed with the “dry” signal, if any. Send ef-
fects are mono in – stereo out.
• Insert effects
An insert effect is inserted into the signal chain of an audio channel, which means that
the whole channel signal passes through the effect. This makes inserts suitable for ef-
fects for which you don’t need to mix dry (direct) and wet (processed) sound, e.g. dis-
tortion, filters or other effects that change the tonal or dynamic characteristics of the
sound. You can have up to five different insert effects per channel.
• Master effects
Up to four effect processors can be added to the signal on the Master bus, the final mix.
Please note that there is no mixing of the dry/fx signals as there is with the send effects
(except if included in the parameters of the individual effects). Typical uses for master
effects would be compressor/limiter effects, noise suppression units, etc.
