How To Make A Silent Space Between Songs In The Mastering Process; How To Insert A Silent Space After Completing Mastering - Fostex VF160 Supplement Owner's Manual

<How to make a silent space between songs in the mastering process>
When mastering a song in the internal mixdown mode, do not stop recording at
the song end point. Instead, continue recording with the fader down for a few
seconds from the song end point and then stop recording.
See Figure 6 below. At the end point of the song to be mastered, put the [MASTER]
fader down completely, and continue recording for a few more seconds then stop.

The recording start and end points are automatically registered as the clipboard
in and clipboard out points, respectively. Therefore, the recording end position
shown above (which is after the silent space) is registered as the clipboard out
point of the mastered material.
By mastering each material with a silent space as described above, you can burn
an audio CD with silent spaces between songs, as shown in Figure 7 below.

If a mastered song does not have a silent space, you can add a silent space later by
shifting the clipboard out point backwards, as shown in Figure 8 below.
