Mastering mode
You can use Tracks 7/8 as the mastering tracks.
After performing the track bouncing to mix down track signals to Tracks 7/8, you can record the audio signals
on Tracks 7/8 to an external (analog or digital) master recorder with applying EQ, reverb and compressor for
mastering (see the illustration below).
You can perform the above operation in the mastering mode, which can be selected by the [MASTERING] key.
When the mastering mode is active, only Tracks 7/8 can be played back, while the dedicated sound processing
for mastering is available. In the following description, we assume that the stereo mix signals are recorded on
Tracks 7/8.
Selecting a program to be played back
If there is more than one program in the VF80, select
the desired program to be played back.
See "Selecting a program" for the operation.
On/off of mastering mode
Press the [MASTERING] key.
Each press of the [MASTERING] key alternates ON and
OFF of the mastering mode.

and the following screen is displayed, while the [TRACK
STATUS/TRACK SEL] key of Track 7/8 and the [STATUS/
SEL] key for the master are illuminated in green.
The screen example above shows the upper part of the
mastering setting. Pressing the [CURSOR ] key scrolls
down the setting items. To scroll up, press the [CUR-
