The effects in this bank serve to tailor the overall mood of a song when performing mixdown (mixing multiple tracks onto two
final stereo tracks) or mastering (fine-tuning the sound and level of a final 2-track mix).
For optimum results, the effects in this bank should be used with the MIX control set to 99, so
that only the effect sound (WET) is output.
