After Rec (after recording)
Specify the time location of the mastering track to which the
mixdown will be recorded. When creating an original audio
CD, it is usually best to select "to ZERO."
to ZERO : Place the data starting at 00h00m00s00f.
to last Phrs:0S :Place the data after the end of the last
phrase in the mastering tracks.
to last Phrs:2S :Place the data two seconds after the end
of the last phrase in the mastering tracks.
to last Phrs:4S :Place the data four seconds after the end
of the last phrase in the mastering tracks.
Stay HERE :Place the data at the time location at which it
was actually recorded.

If this is turned "On," a track number marker will
automatically be assigned to the beginning of the data that is
mixed down. Normally, you will set this "On."
If "Can't Set Marker" Appears in the
Display
CD markers must be set at least 4 seconds apart. If you
see this message, your markers are set too closely
together. To fix this, try a longer After Rec setting. You
can also reset the markers manually—see "CD Track
Numbers," p. 177.
5. Hold down [STOP], and press the [STATUS] button for

7. Press [PLAY]. The song will play back.
8. Raise and lower the Master fader to set the overall
mixing volume.
The sound that passes through the Master fader will be
recorded on the mastering tracks. In order to record at the
optimal audio quality, you should normally set this to the 0
dB position.
9. Use the channel faders (1–15/16) to adjust the volume
balance of each track. At this time the sound that is being
output from the MASTER jacks—including volume
levels and panning—will be recorded to the mastering
Time
tracks. It is best to set the volume as high as possible
without causing it to distort.
10. When you have finished adjusting the volume, press
[STOP].
11. Move to the location at which you wish to begin the
mixdown (such as 00h00m00s00f).
