Mastering mode

You can use Tracks 7/8 as the mastering tracks.

After performing the track bouncing to mix down track signals to Tracks 7/8, you can record the audio signals

on Tracks 7/8 to an external (analog or digital) master recorder with applying effects for mastering (see the il-

lustration below).

You can perform the above operation in the mastering mode, which can be selected by the [MASTERING] key.

When the mastering mode is active, only Tracks 7/8 can be played back, while the dedicated effects for master-

ing are available. In the following description, we assume that the stereo mix signals are recorded on Tracks 7/

8.

lect the desired program to be played back.

See "Selecting a program" for the operation.
