The insert effect can also be inserted into any desired

channel of the mixer, to process the signal of the rhythm

section. For details refer to p.76.

Press the [EXIT] key.

You will return to the main screen.

Press the [EFFECT] key, and then press the

[MASTERING] key.

The MASTERING algorithm will be selected for the insert

effect.

Turn the dial to select a patch.

Press the PLAY [

The entire song will pass through the insert effect and be

You will return to the main screen.

This completes the mixdown. Don't forget to save the

current project on the hard disk.

When shipped from the factory, the hard disk contains a

project with a completed mix of all recorded tracks. (Project

name "Sample 4," project number 995.) For details on how

to load a project, refer to p.17.

On the MRS-1044, the current project will be saved

automatically when you turn off the power or load another

project. For this reason, if you modify the mix after having

saved the project with its "completed" mix, you will be

unable to return to the original "completed" mix. To make

sure that you have preserved the completed mix, we

recommend that you either Protect that project (

→ p.85) or

save the current mixer settings as a "scene"

(

→ p.51).
