Using the mastering effects

The MR-8HD provides the dedicated mastering effects for the L/R stereo buss.

You can use the mastering effects when bouncing more than one track to stereo tracks or when mixing down tracks 1 through 8 to stereo and sent to an external master recorder for recording.

Selecting the desired effect type

Three mastering effect types are available. You can select the desired type using the [MAS- TERING] keys (POWERFUL, NATURAL and BRIGHT).

POWERFUL NATURAL BRIGHT

MASTERING

Each effect type has the following character. Select the appropriate type.

POWERFUL

Adds power to the sound. Good for rock.

 

 

NATURAL

Slightly adds power to the sound. Good for

acoustic music.

 

 

 

BRIGHT

Add brightness to the sound. Good for use

when the mixed sound is dark.

 

 

 

<Note>: By activating the mastering effect, the out- put level raises. Therefore, be careful of the level change when monitoring via headphones or moni- tor speakers, as well as when adjusting the record- ing level of an external recorder.
