Adding Global Effects
Global effects are typically added to more than one track. Reverb is a good example since reverb is a very common effect used on many instruments. Global effects can be added to multiple tracks in varying amounts. When using a Global effect the dry and effected signals are mixed separately, providing full control over the dry/effect level ratio.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off.
