Both [PLAY] and [REC] will light up and mastering will

When mastering has been completed, the current V-
Track used as source will automatically switch to the V-
Track that you chose as the destination for mastering. In
addition, the BR-1200CD will also turn off the Mastering
Tool Kit (the [MASTERING TOOL KIT] indicator goes
out) to prevent the mastered track from passing through
the kit a second time.

listen to the mastered track.
If you are not happy with the results of mastering, press
[UNDO/REDO] to cancel the recording that you have
just made. (“Undo” (p. 81))
8. If you wish to store the mastered track, save the current
song (p. 70).
If you turn off the BR-1200CD without saving the
current song, the mastered track will be lost.
The V-Track for Track 11/12 that was most recently
used for mastering is set as the final mastering track.
When you subsequently use Disc At Once (p. 220) to
create an audio CD, the BR-1200CD will give
priority to the selection of final mastering track for
songs that you want to write to the CD. For more
detailed information regarding final mastering
track, refer to “Changing the Final Mastering Track”
(p. 80).
