Creating a Professional-Sounding CD (Mastering Effects)

When creating a music CD from tracks on a CF card, you can
apply a mastering effect to eliminate inconsistencies in the
volume across the various frequency ranges, making the
music CD more professional sounding.
You can choose one of 25 different Mastering Effect patches.
Choose the patch that is most suitable for the music CD you
want to create.

other effects ( Page 70).
