Added functionality (main features)

Mixdown using the VS-1680 alone

While playing back sixteen tracks, you can mixdown to any two tracks of the 256 V-tracks (Mastering Room). This is convenient when you wish to prepare tracks for mastering, such as when you are producing an original audio CD (p. 8).

Additional effect algorithms

-A compressor (an effect that makes the volume more consistent) can be applied independently to individual frequency bands (Mastering Tool Kit) (p. 14).

-A Speaker Modeling effect has been added, allowing you to apply the acoustical characteristics of a variety of speakers (p. 17).

Automix editing functionality

Automix data (such as the level or pan of each channel, and effect patch numbers) can be edited in a specified area by deleting, copying, or increasing/decreasing the data values (p. 19).

Enhanced support for

CD-R/CD-RW drives

-When producing an original audio CD, you can specify the speed of writing (p. 25).

-When performing a CD-R Backup, you can check whether the data was saved correctly (+Verify: p. 27).

-When performing a CD-R Backup, you can specify the speed of the backup (p. 25).

-When performing a CD-R Recover, you can specify the speed of the recover (p. 28).

Enhanced operations

-In Play condition you can select a phrase for editing, and directly display the Phrase Edit window (p. 30)
