NOTE
The IN and OUT points must be at least 4 seconds apart.
•
If the interval is shorter than 4 seconds, the message
I/O Too Short
will appear and the Recorder
mode cannot switch to
Mixdown
mode .
During recording, you can use the track faders to adjust
•
the levels of the tracks and the overall level.
You can also use the equalizer or reverb effect while
•
recording a master file. (See "TRACK EQ (equalizer)" on
page 68 and "Send effects" on page 69.)
You can mute unwanted tracks so that they are not
•
recorded to the master file. (See "Muting tracks" on
page 48.)
Mastering a recording
You can adjust the master file to tailor the sound to your
preference. This process is called mastering.
Checking the master file
ª
1. When Recorder mode is
Mixdown
mode, press
the MIXDOWN/MASTERING button to open the
MASTERING screen.
The Recorder mode switches to
Mastering
mode
and the display returns to the Home screen.
NOTE
In Mastering mode,
•
Mastering
appears on the
upper left corner of the Home screen.
When a master file does not exist, the Recorder mode
•
cannot switch to
Mastering
mode.
If Recorder mode is
•
Multi Track
mode , you
can press the MIXDOWN/MASTERING button to
switch to the
Mixdown
mode , and then press the
MIXDOWN/MASTERING button again to switch to the
Mastering
mode.
2. In this mode, press the PLAY (
7
) button to listen to
the master file that you have created.
NOTE
Confirm that both the
•
EQ
and
COMP
items are set
to
OFF
. If either is set to
ON
, the sound heard will be
affected by the equalizer and/or compressor. (See
"Using the mastering EQ (equalizer)" on page 71 and
"Using mastering compression" on page 72.)
In
•
Mastering
mode, the STEREO fader cannot be
used to adjust the level.
Applying equalization
ª
In this example, we will use the equalizer on the
master file to reduce high frequencies and increase low
frequencies slightly.
1. When Recorder mode is
Mastering
mode,
press the F1 (
EQ
) button to open the
EQUALIZER
screen.
2. Turn the EQ HIGH knob to the left to lower the
GAIN
knob for
HIGH
shown on the screen. Set to
"
-2dB
". This reduces the high frequencies.
3. Next turn the EQ MID knob to the left to lower the
GAIN
for
MID
. Set to "
-2dB
". This reduces the mid
frequencies.
4. Next, turn the EQ LOW knob to the right to raise
the
GAIN
knob for
LOW
shown on the screen. Set
to "
+6dB
". This increase the low frequencies.
5. Press the ON/OFF button on the right of the LOW
knob to turn the equalizer on.
6. Press the F1 (
g
) button to return to the Mastering
screen.
7. Now you can press the PLAY (
7
) button to listen to
the master file with equalization.
Applying compression
ª
Use the compressor on the master file to adjust the
impact of the entire song.
1. When Recorder mode is
Mastering
