Advanced Operations (VF80EX)
Performing internal mastering
<Hint>
On the mastering screen, you can tailor the sound
by adjusting EQ settings (HI, MID and LOW), as well
as the ambiance and compressor.
See page
76 for details about the mastering effects.
<Note>
The "CpProtect" (Copy Protect) setting, which is one
of the mastering effect items, does not affect a mas-
tered material recorded by internal mastering. The
copy protect setting affects materials recorded on a
CD-RW/CD-R disc, described later.
See "
Making an audio CD " on page 125 .
Press the [REWIND] key while holding down the
[STOP] key to locate to the beginning of the pro-
gram.
The VF80EX locates to the beginning of the program
immediately and
"00m 00s" is shown at the top right
of the screen. Keep showing the same mastering screen
after stopping the VF80EX and locating to the begin-
ning of the program.
To repeat the rehearsal, perform steps 4 and 5 re-
peatedly after making the VF80EX locate to the be-
ginning of the program. After completing the rehearsal
satisfactorily, make sure to locate to the beginning of
the program.
Before executing the take, read below, as well as notes on the next page.
<Note>
After completing the rehearsal, be careful not to
move the track 7/8 and master faders and change
the mastering effect parameters.
If you wish to do another work after the rehearsal,
you should save the settings (fader positions and
parameter settings) to a scene memory. See page
52 for details about the “ scene memory ” function.
After completing all the adjustments, press the
[STOP] key to stop the VF80EX.

<About Start and End points>
As described earlier, the starting and ending time values of internal mastering are automati-
cally registered as the "Start point" and "End point" respectively, which are used for track
editing (copy, move and erase) for the newly created program (see the illustrations below).
When burning a CD-RW/CD-R, data between "Start point" and "End point" is automatically
recorded. In other words, you cannot make an audio CD (described later) if these points are not
set.
After executing internal mastering, you can check or edit the "Start point" and "End point"
which have been automatically set. See page 83 for detail.
