2. Set the mastering equalization on this screen.
The equalizer parameters are as follows.
GAIN FREQ
HIGH
High gain
Setting range: ±12dB
(Default: 0dB)
High frequency
Setting range: 1.7kHz to
18kHz (Default: 10kHz)
MID
Mid gain
Setting range: ±12dB
(Default: 0dB)
Mid frequency
Setting range: 32Hz to
18kHz (Default: 1.0kHz)
LOW
Low gain
Setting range: ±12dB
(Default: 0dB)
Low frequency
Setting range: 32Hz to
1.6kHz (Default: 100Hz)
Use the HIGH, MID, and LOW GAIN knobs to adjust
the gain.
Use the HIGH, MID, and LOW FREQ knobs to adjust
the center frequency.
Use the MID Q knob to set the MID FREQ bandwidth.

)
You use the EQUALIZER ON/OFF button to turn the
equalizer on/off.
NOTE
Q refers to the center frequency of the equalizer divided
by the bandwidth. A high Q value reduces the cut and/
or boost applied to the frequencies. Depending on the
equalizer settings, the graph at the top of the screen
changes.

Using mastering compression
You can choose between a single band and a multi-band
type of compressor.
Multi-band compressors allow independent settings for
the low, mid and high frequency ranges, so you can adjust
the overall volume balance. By using compression, you
can also reduce unwanted peaks and increase the overall
gain in order to raise the volume, creating a mastered
sound with greater impact.

Mastering
screen is displayed, press
the F2 (
