Mastering - Roland Fantom G6 Quick Start Manual

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.
Using mastering to complete your song
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.
Hard Comp
Soft Comp
Low Boost
Mid Boost
High Boost
You can select either hard or soft compression. Start by choosing one of these settings as desired,
and then make fine adjustments.
In addition to the compressor effect, these provide variations of output volume for each frequency
band, producing an equalizer-like effect.
