Tips for Mastering
Adjusting the master level
To get a powerful sounding recording, raise the volume until it is as high as you can get it
without causing the sound to distort.
1.
Select mastering mode .
2.
Press the [ ] (PLAY) button to play back the song .
3.
In the MASTERING screen, move the cursor to "LEVEL" and then use the dial to
adjust the master level .
Adjust the level so that the sound you hear does not distort.
Adjusting the START time
With songs that start with a count-in, you can have mastering start after the count-in by
changing the START time for mastering.
Adjusting the END time
By adjusting the END time for mastering to a point later than the end of the song data, you
can prevent the decay at the end of the song from being cut off unnaturally.
