VF08 Owner's Manual
<V2.0 Supplement>
The VF08 software has been upgraded to
v2.0, which supports the new "internal mas-
tering function", as well as expands the func-
tion of save/load using a "SCSI" CD-RW drive.
You can now record mastered materials onto
a CD-RW/CD-R disc with the standard au-
dio CD format.
This supplement only handles instructions
for the internal mastering function and
save/load using a CD-RW/CD-R disc.
See "Save/Load of song data" on the main
manual about details for save/load using
SCSI and S/P DIF digital signal.

  • Page 4: Internal Mastering Function

    Internal Mastering Function The "mastering mode" of the VF08 mixes tracks 1 through 6 down to tracks 7/8, and plays back them with the dedicated mastering effects so that you can record them to an external (analog or digital) master recorder (see figure 1). The “internal mastering function”, a newly added function for the VF08, expands the mastering mode, which allows transferring a mix-down material on tracks 7/8 to another (new) program on the current drive with adding the mastering effects.
