0:00 Audio effects on this guy

Alright folks, in this video we're going to have a general sort of look at the audio effects on this guy here. It's the SVM-1000. Now of course it's a video mixer but at the same time you've actually got audio effects on this guy as well. So what you can actually do, you can mix let's say your video, you can mix logically video with audio, you can mix say an external camera with your video. You can also have the audio effects by themselves, or you can have the actual audio effects with the onboard effects on here. So put it this way, say you haven't got any actual DDJ turntables, then what you could do, you could just Plug in your normal vinyl turntables or your normal CD players and you can actually use the effects on this guy here. And at the same time, like I said, you can use the actual audio effects with the visual effects. So what I'm going to do now, you can see here we've got this button flashing. That basically means that we're ready now to use the actual audio effects. So look to the side of the video for the actual track. Here we go. What we've got now, we've got this thing here, Ripple. Now watch what happens. Put my finger... Let's just turn it up a little bit.

1:25 We can actually change the depth

Now what is actually happening as well, this area here now is almost like a chaos pad. So I can just drag my finger gently around and I can change the sound of each individual effect we've got. Have a listen, here we go. That's ripple, we'll try zoom. We can actually change the depth. We're getting almost the maximum full extent of that individual effect. Minimum, logically we're getting the minimum. So let's just turn the music up a little bit more and we'll try cube now. Like I've said on a lot of my videos, effects are fantastic things to use but don't go over the top. An effect sometimes is better used in little tiny amounts as opposed to continually. Because if you use it continually, you will actually lose the effect of the effect. Alright, once again a small insight into this guy here. In this video we're basically looking at the effects. Practice and enjoy.
