Using Mastering in Creating a Song
This chapter explains the process of mixing down your
recorded tracks onto two tracks and applying a “mastering
effect” to create a finished song with the optimal volume
level.
The sound of the rhythm and of the input source selected by
INPUT SELECT (p. 37) can also be combined at this time.

What is the mastering effect?
When creating a CD from your recorded songs, it’s
important to manage the overall volume so that the loudest
section of your songs will stay within the available range of
the CD. However this will lower the overall volume,
causing the music to sound less powerful.
Additionally, excessive sound in the low frequency range
that is difficult for the human ear to hear can cause the level
meter to move all the way to the maximum in spite of the
fact that the actual sound does not appear to be loud. This
can also make your music sound less powerful.
By using the mastering effect, you can make the volume of
your song more consistent, and correct the balance of the
low-frequency range. We recommend that you use the
mastering effect to add the final touch to your song.
* The mastering effect provides 19 “preset patches” (P01–
P16), 19 rewritable “user patches” (U01–U19), and 19
“song patches” (S01–S19) which are stored for each song.

You can turn on the mastering effect even when
you’re not in Mastering mode.
If you use the mastering effect during normal
recording, you’ll be able to hear the mastered sound
while you record.
