Step 1
Adjust the Delay effect. Turn the mixing board's "Effect Selector" button to "Delay." This slows down the drumbeat or bass line of a song so that it is behind (or ahead of) the rest of the song. Use the "Parameter" button to slow down or speed up this effect. With this effect, press the lighted toggle button at the bottom of the mixer to start and stop the effect.

Step 2
Try the Echo effect. Turn the "Effect Selector" button to "Echo." This effect does what it says; it adds an echoing quality to the drumbeats.
-
Step 3
Turn the "Effect Selector" button to "Flanger." This whooshing effect makes the music sound hollow, as if you are listening inside a bucket or tunnel. This is a very commonly used effect in dance clubs. Adjust the "Parameter" button to speed up or slow down the flanging.
-
Step 4
Play with the reverb effect, the "Effect Selector" button "Reverb." In a small facility, turn the Parameter button to the left to lessen this effect; in an enormous dance hall, turn it all the way to the right.
-
Step 5
Use the pitch effect, the "Effect Selector" button "Pitch." This is a fun way to modify speech on a CD. You can make people's voices sound low and slow by turning the Parameter button to the left or fast and squeaky by turning it to the right.

Step 6
Twist the "Effect Selector" button to "BPM" (beats per minute). Instead of having to count beats yourself, this selection does it for you and displays the results on a lighted screen.
