One of my primary interests in acquiring Mason's 970 was the VH feature ballyhooed all over the net. It does sound good but learning how to use it (from a Novice's perspective) is not easy. The manual assumes the "owner" knows more than most readers and simply skims over the topic. (Speaking of Mason... I have not seen any posts from him recently??) I hope he's just busy with his weekend work schedule and not having more health issues.

Since my 970 was previously used by a "Master" Artist, Musician and Performer, I suspect many of the "settings" on this machine and on VH/Vocal Effects... were made by him. Learning how to get back to ground zero and setting things up for a "Dingbat" like me is where I'm headed. Sorta like school days. Repitition, repitition, repitition! That's how we were taught.

I finally got the settings where I wanted them and "cut" a song using VH/VE and it sounded pretty good on the machine as I used the earphones. Not too bad on the editor after the WAV file was converted to MP3... but on a CD... I really need some serious instruction. LOL! Oh well, retirees have plenty of spare time.

Have a great day, guys and gals.
