<Hint>
When selecting a desired preset entry from the Master-
ing effect library, the initial parameter values of the en-
try are shown on the screen.
See "Mastering effect library details" on pages 77 and 78
for the detailed information.
Setting the mastering effect parameters
Set the [MASTER] fader at the "0" position.
Start playback and move up the Track 7/8 fader gradu-
ally.
You can monitor the playback sound of Tracks 7/8 by
rotating the
[PHONES] knob clockwise.
In the mastering mode, you cannot monitor the play-
back sound of other tracks even if you move up the
faders.
Use the [CURSOR / ] keys to highlight the param-
eter value to be edited, and use the [JOG] dial to select
the desired value.
You can monitor the tailored sound of Tracks 7/8 in
realtime.
<Hint>
When any parameter value is changed from the
initial setting,
"E" appears on the right of the preset
entry name (as shown below), showing that the cur-
rent setting is different from the initial setting.
On/off of the mastering effects
To switch on or off the mastering effects, use the [CUR-
SOR / ] key to highlight the ON/OFF icon as shown
below, and use the [JOG] dial to select "ON" or "OFF".
When "ON" is selected, the tailored sound is output.
When "OFF" is selected, the original sound is output.
Recording onto the master recorder
Stand by the master recorder for recording, and start
playback of the VF80EX.
You have to adjust the recording level now.
When the recording signal is digitally transferred from
the VF80EX to the recorder, because a digital recorder
usually does not provide the function for controlling
the digital input level, you must adjust the recording
level by controlling the stereo output level of the
VF80EX using the
[MASTER] fader.
After setting the recording level, return the VF80EX to
the beginning of the program.
Start recording of the master recorder and then start
playback of the VF80EX.
The stereo output (L and R) signals are recorded onto
the master recorder.
After finishing recording, stop the both machines.
<Hint>
When you record VF80EX audio onto a digital mas-
ter recorder via the S/P DIF digital signal, if the
copy
protection ("Cp Protect") is set to " ON ", you can limit
the digital copy from the master to another recorder.
If you do not want to make digital copies freely from
the master, set the copy protection to "
ON ."
Mastering effect library details
The mastering effect library provides 10 preset en-
tries which can only be used in the mastering mode.
When applying mastering effects to the sound, you
can use a desired preset as a starting point of your
setting.
The following table shows the initial settings of EQ,
reverb and compressor parameters.
