Press the "Song" key and use the value dial to scroll through to the song you want. The D3200 can store up to 100 songs.
Press "OK" to select a song.
Press the "Verify" button to confirm your choice. This opens the song as separate multi-track files in the mixer. To mix audio on the D3200 which was recorded on a different console, save the audio as separate .Wav files to a CD. Load the CD into the D3200 CD drawer and when prompted to "Load Audio" press "OK."
Hit "Play" on the mixer console to hear the level adjustments in real-time.
Adjust the fader dial for each channel, starting with the vocals. The vocals, while not always the loudest feature, should be clearly audible among the other instrumentation. Set the vocal channel fader as high as possible before the volume units meter flashes red. If it flashes red, lower the fader slightly. If you aren't sure which channel is which, press the "S" button on each channel to mute everything else. This way you can hear the channel in isolation.
Set the remaining fader dial levels in relation to the vocals. It's a matter of preference how you balance the audio, but aim for a mix that gives every instrument "room to breath." Sharper-sounding instruments, such as brass and electric guitar, don't need to be as loud as bass and strings because they naturally cut through the mix.
Press the "Effect" button, and select "EFFRouting" when prompted, by using the up and down arrows to scroll through the menu.
Use the arrow keys or "CH Select" button to select a channel. This assigns the subsequently selected effect to the selected channel.
Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the effects menu. Hit the "Enter" button to select an effect.
Use the arrow keys to select an effect parameter, such as "Rate" if using chorus or "Threshold" if using compression.
Turn the "Value" dial clockwise to increase the selected parameter and counter-clockwise to reduce the selected parameter. For example to increase the compressor threshold, scroll the value dial clockwise. This adjusts the base level at which the compressor kicks in, giving the selected instrument more "headroom."
Select a track with the arrow keys or "CH Select" button.
Press the "EQ" key to open up the equalizer interface. Equalization lets you boost and cut the frequencies of each channel, to tweak the tone of the sound. The equalizer interface has a range of virtual rotary dials.
Adjust the virtual rotary dials by turning the "Value" dial to increase or decrease the volume of a certain frequency within the sound. For example, to thin-out the sound of a bass guitar, select the lowest frequency dial with the arrow keys and reduce that frequency by turning the "Value" dial counter-clockwise.
