Mastering
When you are satised with your mix, this unit
can record and create a stereo master track
internally. We call this process mastering. A
stereo master track recorded by this unit is
saved as part of the song, and can be recorded
by an external stereo recorder. It can also be
converted by the unit into a WAV le and
exported to a computer (see “Exporting a
stereo master track” on page 77).
NOTE
Only one stereo master track can be made in
a song at a time.

end point. The time between the song’s zero
point (00: 00: 00: 00) and the OUT point
