Chapter 13 CD-RW and Mastering

Sw

This parameter turns the Mastering Room feature on and off. Since you’ll first want to rehearse your mix before actually recording the mastering tracks, set this to “Off.”

On: When Sw is turned on, Tracks 17 and 18 are designated as the mastering tracks—and will be shown as “L” and “R” on the Playlist display.

Off: When Sw is turned off, Tracks 17 and 18 function normally.

*Remember that audio on Tracks 17 and 18 will not be included in the final mixdown once Sw is set to “On,” since Tracks 17 and 18 will be used as mastering tracks. If you wish to include audio from Tracks 17 and 18 in your final mix, you must bounce it to any track from 1-16.

Status

Specify the status of the mastering tracks. For this example, select “Rec.”

Rec: Play back Tracks 1-16 while recording them to the mastering tracks.

Play: Play back the mastering tracks. The sound of Tracks 1-16 will not be output from the MASTER jacks.

For details on signal flow—routing—refer to p. 27.

V. Trk

While Tracks 17 and 18 are automatically selected as mastering tracks, you can select which of their V-Tracks will be used for mastering. When a new song is created, V-Track 16 of tracks 17/18—17-16, 18-16—are selected by default.

After Rec (after recording)

Specify the time location of the mastering track to which the mixdown will be recorded. When creating an original audio CD, it is usually best to select “to ZERO.”

to ZERO:

Place the data starting at 00h00m00s00f. to last Phrs:0S:

Place the data after the end of the last phrase in the mastering tracks.

to last Phrs:2S:

Place the data two seconds after the end of the last phrase in the mastering tracks.

to last Phrs:4S:

Place the data four seconds after the end of the last phrase in the mastering tracks.

Stay HERE:

Place the data at the time location at which it was actually recorded.

CDRRecMode

This parameter determines whether or not a CD disk image is to be created as your master.

On: When CDRRecMode is on, a CD disk image is created during the recording of the mastering tracks using the VS-1824’s CDR recording mode.

Off: When CDRRecMode is off, no CD disk image is created during the recording of the mastering tracks. The mastering tracks are created using the currently selected recording mode.

Marker

If this is turned “On,” a track number marker will automatically be assigned to the beginning of the data that is mixed down. Normally, you will set this “On.”

If “Can’t Set Marker” Appears in the Display

CD markers must be set at least 4 seconds apart. If you see this message, your markers are set too closely together. To fix this, try a longer After Rec setting. You can also reset the markers manually—see “CD Track Numbers,” p. 186.
