The MASTER Fader

The MASTER fader—located at the far right of the channel strip area—
controls the overall level of the main stereo MASTER mix.
While Recording
During recording, you'll typically listen to this mix, so moving the MASTER
fader affects how loud the overall mix is. It's a good idea to set it to 0db in this
context, and then use the MONITOR or PHONES knobs to actually set the
listening level.
When you're recording, the setting of the MASTER fader has no effect on the level of
signal recorded on your tracks—it adjusts the level of the mix you're listening to.
While Mixing
Since the MASTER fader controls the level of the MASTER mix, its setting is critical in
controlling the overall level of your final mix. When you fade out your mix, you'll use
the MASTER fader to perform the fadeout.
Automix can memorize a fadeout you perform using the MASTER fader.
The VS-2400CD's level meters tell you how loud or soft your overall mix level is. To
learn about metering in the VS-2400CD, see "Meters Display" on Page 116.
Start your mix by setting the MASTER fader to 0db, and adjust your channels' levels to
achieve the proper overall level. Once you're close to finishing your mix, you can move
the MASTER fader to fine-tune the overall level.
