Executing mastering
Here’s how to use the mastering function to write the
stereo track data to CD-R/RW media.
If you want to write the stereo track to CD immedi-
ately after it was recorded, you must first save the
current song.
1
Press the [CD] key → [F1] key.
The CD screen/CD Write page will appear.
2
Move the cursor to the DRIVE area in the
upper left of the display, use the [DATA/
JOG] dial to select the CD-RW drive, and
press the [ENTER] key.
Select “ATAPI” if you are using an internal CD-
RW drive, or the appropriate SCSI ID if you are
using an external CD-RW drive. When you press
the [ENTER] key, the TRACK AT ONCE and DISC
AT ONCE buttons will become available.
3
Press the [SHIFT] key + [F2] key.
The tray of the selected CD-RW drive will open.
4
Insert CD-R/RW media in the tray, and
press the [SHIFT] key + [F1] key.
The tray of the CD-RW drive will close.
5
Move the cursor to the TRACK AT ONCE
button if you want to record using the
Track At Once method, or to the DISC AT
ONCE button if you want to record using
the Disc At Once method. Then press the
[ENTER] key.
If CD-R media was inserted, both the TRACK AT
ONCE and DISC AT ONCE buttons will be avail-
able for selection. If CD-RW media was inserted,
only the DISC AT ONCE button can be selected.
The screen shown below will appear if you insert
CD-R media, move the cursor to the TRACK AT
ONCE button, and press the [ENTER] key.
Tip!
If you insert previously-recorded CD-RW media,
move the cursor to the DISC AT ONCE button and
press the [ENTER] key, a popup window will appear
asking you to confirm erasure of the CD-RW media. If
you want to erase the previously-recorded data and
continue with the mastering operation, move the cur-
sor to the OK button. If you want to cancel the mas-
tering operation, move the cursor to the CANCEL
button. Then press the [ENTER] key.
6
Move the cursor to the NEW button
located in the lower part of the display,
and press the [ENTER] key.
The list in the right side of the display will show
information for the stereo track that will be writ-
ten to track number 1 of the CD (the name of the
song that includes that stereo track, the data size
of the stereo track, and the copy protect setting).
