Step 4: Mixdown and mastering

"Mixdown" refers to the process of applying insert effects,
master effects, and EQ to the recorded tracks, adjusting the
overall balance, and then combining everything into a two-
track stereo mix.
Once you have mixed-down a song, you can apply a final ef-
fect and EQ to add compression and adjust the overall tone
to create a finished master; this process is called "master-
ing."
On the D32XD/D16XD, you can perform the mastering and
the stereo mix-down at the same time.
1. Applying effects and EQ to individual
channels

Applying effects to individual channels/tracks (Insert Effect)

You can apply an effect to the playback of
an individual track by assigning an insert
effect to that mixer channel.
(1) Press the EFFECT key and select the
"Routing A [*EFFRouting]" tab page.
(2) Press the IN/TR cell (it will become
highlighted), and use the +/– keys to
select "TR."
(3) Perform the actions described begin-
ning with step (3) under "Applying
effects to the input sound" ( p.24).

Applying EQ to each channel/track

(1) Press the MIXER key, and select EQ/PHASE/REC [*EQ/ATT/PHASE] in the
page jump menu. Then select the "EQ/ATT" tab page.
You can move from another tab page or page mode directly to the "EQ/ATT" tab page by
turning one of the EQ knobs or pressing one of the EQ keys (High, Hi-Mid, Lo-Mid, Low)
located at the right of the LCD screen.
