There are some instances where you may wish to render a Playlist to the hard drive, but do not want to 
immediately burn a CD; for instance, you may wish to audition the rendered image before committing 
to a CD.  
 
To initiate a Playlist Render, press the UTILITY button repeatedly until Utility Page 5 is displayed, as 
shown in Figure 8.5.1. 
 
 
 
Figure 8.5.1 
Render Playlist to Image Page 
 
Pressing the DOWN/NO button in this page will have no effect. Pressing the UP/YES button will 
prompt you with an "Are you sure? Y/N" message. Pressing DOWN/NO at that point will cancel 
the Playlist Render operation. Pressing UP/YES at the prompt will begin the rendering process. 
 
The time needed to complete the rendering process varies depending on the sample rate and word 
length of the original files, as well as the type and amount of DSP added to each Track. Once the 
playlist has finished rendering, the MasterLink will automatically switch to the Rendered Image 
Playlist.

Consumer Compact Disc player design can vary greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer, and 
across a wide price/features range. All CD players have output mute circuitry that activates when the 
player is searching for a track, such as after the skip forward button is pressed. Once a track is located, 
the player unmutes its outputs and begins to play audio. However, because of the widely varying 
designs of consumer CD players, this muting circuitry can be relatively slow (or fast) when muting or 
unmuting.  This can cause a track to be slightly cut off at the beginning or end of the audio.  
 
This feature gives you the ability to add an offset to the track start ID of a Red Book CD either at the 
beginning or at the end (or both) of a track so that variances between CD players will not affect a CD
