Mixdown procedure

3 Use the Layer section keys, the [INPUT SEL] keys, and the [SEL] keys to select the channels that you want to send to the ste- reo bus.

For example, repeatedly pressing [INPUT SEL] key 1 (or the [SEL] key of input channel 1) will make the screen change as follows.

8	NOTE
	• The track numbers of muted tracks will be displayed as
	(mute).
Mixdown	• Since 24-bit songs can have a maximum of 12 play tracks (→
	p. 165), tracks 13–24 are muted and will not play back.
	• You can switch track muting on/off by moving the cursor to the
and	track channel number and pressing the [ENTER] key.
	• If you’re using effects via an effect bus, the mixdown will not
bounce	include the effect sound unless you add the corresponding
	effect return channel to the stereo bus. For details on using
	effects, refer to “Applying Effects via Send and Return” (→
operations	p. 117).
	HINT
	• All channels will be turned on by default. However in order to
	obtain the best S/N ratio, you should turn off any channels
	that you are not using.

4 Raise the [STEREO] fader to the 0 dB posi- tion.

5 While you play back the song, raise the track channel faders to an appropriate level.

6 Adjust the mix parameters of each channel, such as EQ, dynamics, and pan.

HINT

•You can use the CH VIEW screen View page to view a list of the mix parameters (EQ, pan, effect send etc.) of a desired channel (→ p. 105).

7 If you want to use the mastering library, move the cursor to the LIBRARY button and press the [ENTER] key.

The MASTERING LIBRARY popup window will appear.

You can use the mastering library to quickly recall dedicated settings for the stereo output channel. These settings include EQ and dynamics processor settings that are appropriate for application to the final mix. Library numbers 0–13 are read-only, and library num- ber 0 is data to initialize the stereo output channel.

8 Use the [DATA/JOG] dial or [INC]/[DEC] keys to select the desired library data, then move the cursor to the RECALL button and press the [ENTER] key.

The mastering library settings will be recalled. Play back your song while you try various settings to find the best one.

To exit the MASTERING LIBRARY popup window, move the cursor to the EXIT button and press the [ENTER] key.

9 If necessary, you can press the [STEREO SEL] key to select the stereo output chan- nel, and use the Selected Channel section to make fine adjustments to the EQ and dynamics processor settings.

Operations are the same as for an input channel, except for the fact that the EQ and dynamics processor of the stereo output channel always operate in stereo, and that the dynamics processor has no gate.
