MASTERING ON THE DPS24 

Although it is possible to use the MBCX when mixing down your 24-track project, you lose the 
possibility of using the internal effects. 

Therefore,  the best way to master your recordings using the MBCX is to first perform a stereo 
mixdown as normal  (i.e. multitrack mixdown via effects to the DPS24's 'virtual'  2-track). 

Assuming you are happy with the mix and want to 'master' it through the MBCX, you should 
then load your 2-track mix project in the usual way from the PROJECT page and proceed as 
follows: 

1

Press CD-R (SHIFT+SETUP) 

2

Press MIXDOWN (F1) 

3

Enable the MBCX using F2/3. The MBCX can be off, pre-fader or post-fader and this 
can be selected by pressing F2/3 repeatedly. When the MBCX is enabled, the graphic 
changes to show the MBCX: 

4

Press PLAY in the transport controls to playback your stereo mix 

5

Press FX - the MBCX parameters will be displayed and you can adjust these as the 
track is playing. 

6

Once you are happy with the settings of the MBCX and the sound of your mix, go to 
the CD-R page again and press RECORD ENABLE.

("Mix-down vis Multi-Band Compressor" will then be displayed at the top of the LCD
screen as a reminder)
