7. Press [PLAY]. The song will play back.
8. Raise and lower the master fader, and verify that the
volume of each track changes.
MEMO
The sound that passes through the master fader will be
recorded on the mastering tracks. In order to record at the
optimal audio quality, you should normally set this to the
0 dB position.
9. Use the channel faders (1–15/16) to adjust the volume
balance of each track. At this time the sound that is being
output from the MASTER jacks (volume levels, panning)
will be recorded to the mastering tracks. It is best to set
the volume as high as possible without causing the
volume to distort.
10. When you have finished adjusting the volume, press
[STOP].
11. Move to the location at which you wish to begin the
mixdown (such as 00h00m00s00f).
