Mastering

Mastering is the final state of song production, in which you apply a compressor and equalizer to add the
final touches to the song. If your completed song is lacking in overall power, or if it sounds quite different
when played back in a different environment, you should pay attention to the adjustments of the mastering
process.

1. Press [EFFECTS (ROUTING)] to access the Effects screen.
2. Press [F7 (Mastering)].
3. Use cursor buttons to move the cursor to the parameter you wish to modify.
4. Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC] [DEC] to get the value you want.

The Fantom-G’s mastering effect provides several preset settings. You can use these to easily try out different
variations of mastering settings.
