Editing a recorded performance to create an audio CD
Adjusting the mastering tools
The mastering tools are a convenient set of tools that divide the sound into high-
frequency, mid-frequency, and low-frequency ranges, and make the volume
consistent so that the audio CD can be created with the optimal levels. There are 19
mastering tool patches, so you can select the patch that is most appropriate for your
situation.
If [MASTERING TOOLS] will turn on, the data being written to the CD-R disc will
use the mastering tools.
