4. Move the cursor to the setting you want to change and
select a new value using the TIME/VALUE dial.
START:
This parameter sets the start time for fade out.
LENGTH:
The parameter sets the time (in seconds) from the start of
fade-out until the volume reaches zero.
• If the end point of the song is positioned before the point
corresponding to START + LENGTH, the song will end
abruptly mid-way through fade-out. Adjust the START
and LENGTH settings to ensure that the volume
smoothly reduces to zero before the end of the song.
• When the current position is after the point
corresponding to START + LENGTH, you will not be
able to hear the BR-1600CD's playback as the volume
will be set to zero.
CURVE:
This parameter sets the shape of the volume reduction
curve during fade-out.
A The volume will be perceived as being reduced at a
steady rate.
B The volume will be perceived initially as dropping
at a slower rate, and this rate will increase as the
fade-out progresses.
Using the Mastering Tool Kit
