Powerful on-board dual FX engines and eight individual compressors
In pursuit of the ultimate "do-it -all" Live Sound Mixer ,we threw in the kitchen sink and packed this bad boy with a full set of processors allowing you to travel"rack free" while still making professional sounding mixes.
For starters,we added not one,but TWO,of our patented running Man FX processors (RMFX+) featuring 24 "gig ready" effects right into the board.This does not include useless effects such as "the warbler" or the "insanity delay",but rather a suite of quickly accessible and useable reverbs,choruses and delays that make coloring your mix a breeze.
Additionally,both FX processors feature a tap delay,typically only available on an outboard rack.Delays may easily be sync'd with the song at the tap of a finger.and because we love flexible routing,the processed signal may be sent direct to the mains and monitors from the effects section or re-routed to the two stereo channels to bring them through the EQ and AUX section,utilizing the 60mm fader to draw them into the mix.
USB Recording and Playback
MACKIE 2404VLZ4 and 3204VLZ4 - The VLZ4 4-Bus Series Mixers features a 4x2 USB recording and play back function.This means up to four signals may be recorded simultaneously and a stereo mix returned to the mixer for playback.
There are two switches in the master section labeled "USB OUT" that allow for monstrous flexibility on the four recordable signals.The default switch configuration routes subgroups 1-4 over the USB connection to your favorite DAW softare for a "mix it later" 4-track recording.The Subgroup 1-2 switch also allows the L-R mix to be recorded for convenient stereo mixes of the show.The Subgroup 3-4 switch allows aux 5-6 to be sent to the DAW for a unique stereo recording or the use of DAW plug-ins as effects.
For playback,there are two switches in the master section labeled "2-TRACK RETURN".One switch changes the standard dual RCA inputs to main (tape,switch disengaged) to stereo USB to main (USB,switch engaged). This is an extremely convenient function for playing music over the main mix from a computer.
Another cool features of the VLZ4 4-bus is routing the stereo USB return to the last stereo channel off the mixer.
