CD-RW MASTERING Menu
The CD-RW MASTERING menu provides access to the operations
associated with the VS-2480’s top-panel CD-RW/MASTERING button.
The Mastering Room
When you select MASTERING ROOM from the CD-RWMASTERING menu, the
Mastering Room (Owner’s Manual Page 343) replaces the meters strip.
Use the EFFECT INSERT matrix to insert effects on the MASTER bus.
• To activate an insert effect—click its switch so that it turns yellow and a blue box
showing its currently selected effect patch appears in the insert matrix. The matrix
shows how signal flows from one inserted effect processor to the next.
• To adjust the send to or return from an insert effect—drag
its blue insert send or return slider, respectively, up
or down to set the send or return level as desired.
• To select a new effect patch or edit the current patch—click on the effect’s blue box in the
matrix to display the processor’s Algorithm View screen (Owner’s Manual Page 221).

You’ll want to use one of the Mastering Tool Kit (MTK) effect patches. Select an odd-
numbered processor since each powerful MTK patch requires an odd-numbered
processor as well as its even-numbered partner.
If a processor is unavailable because it’s already in use as an insert effect elsewhere, its
switch shows the name of the channel on which it’s inserted, as shown above.
If an even-numbered processor is being used by an MTK effect, it can’t be selected a
separate insert effect.

In this illustration:
• FX 1 is already inserted on Input Channel 1, as its switch shows.
• only two optional VS8F-2 boards are installed, so Effects 7 and 8 are unavailable.
