Selecting the Mastering V-Tracks
Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to select the V-Tracks on which you
want to record your mastering tracks. You can select any same-
numbered pair of tracks belonging to Track 23 and 24, (Page 340).
The currently selected mastering tracks appear as diamonds in
the V-Track map shown in the Mastering Room and elsewhere.
Building Mastering Tracks Selection-by-Selection
When you’re creating an audio CD with multiple audio selections—such as an album
of songs or a collection of jingles or soundtrack cues—you can record its mastering
tracks one selection at a time.
Positioning Mastered Selections
After mastering the first selection, master the next selection, and so on, placing each
new selection behind the previous one on the mastering tracks. The resulting
mastering tracks contain a string of phrases, with each phrase playing the audio for one
of the selections. You can edit these phrases later to refine their spacing, trim unwanted
audio or change the selections’ order (Page 346).
The Mastering Room’s After Rec parameter places each new selection. Its values are:
•
to ZERO
—records the new mastered audio at Time
00h00m00s00f00, the beginning of the CD. Use this
setting when you’re creating a single-selection CD, or
when you’re recording the first selection in a multi-
selection CD.
•
to Last Phrs:0s
—places the new mastered audio at the end
of the audio already recorded on the mastering tracks,
with no space between them.
•
to Last Phrs:2s
—places the new mastered audio at the end
of the audio already recorded on the mastering tracks,
with a two-second space between them.
•
to Last Phrs:4s
—places the new mastered audio at the end
of the audio already recorded on the mastering tracks,
with a four-second space between them.
• Stay HERE—records the new mastered audio in the same location in the project as
its source data. Use this setting if you’ve created a compilation project, have moved
its selections so that they play one after another, and are mastering each selection
individually in order to be able to individually concentrate on each selection’s mix.
Placing Markers Automatically
When you add a new selection to already mastered audio, the Mastering Room’s Auto
Marker feature can place a CD track marker at the new selection’s beginning to save
you time later on. (The CD marker at the very start of the mastering tracks is added
automatically during CD burning.) To turn on this feature, set Auto Marker to On.
“Multi-Project Compilation CDs” on Page 341 discusses the various ways in which you
can assemble an audio CD from multiple projects.
Auto Marker places a CD track marker only at the beginning of a new selection—it
doesn’t place markers after pauses in the audio within the selection.
