Working in the VS-2480 Mastering Room

Navigating to the Mastering Room

1. While holding down SHIFT, press CD-RW/MASTERING. The
MASTERING ROOM screen appears.

Turning On the Mastering Room

To turn on the Mastering Room:
1. Set the MASTERING ROOM on/off switch to On.
2. To de-activate the Mastering Room, set its switch to Off.

Selecting the Mastering Room Operating Mode

The Mastering Room’s operating mode is determined by the setting of its STATUS
parameter. You can select:

Play

—to play back already recorded mastering tracks.

Record

—to record new mastering tracks.

Selecting the Mastering Tracks’ Recording Mode

When the CDR Rec Mode parameter is turned on, your mastering tracks are recorded
as disk image files that can be immediately burned to an audio CD (Page 340). When it’s
turned off, the mastering tracks are recorded using the project’s recording mode.
Typically, you’ll want to set CDR Rec Mode to On. Set CDR Rec mode to Off when you
need to master your mix in stages to get the most from limited effect resources, as
described in “Stretching Effects” on Page 346.
When the Mastering Room is turned on, the CD-RW/MASTERING button flashes.
When you’re mastering a project that was recorded using CDR mode, the CDR Rec
Mode parameter’s value makes no difference—the mastering tracks are recorded using
CDR mode in any event.
