How to burn an audio CD

You can burn an audio CD from songs created by the MR16 multitrack recording function using either of the following methods.

(1)Burns a CD using the internal CD-R/RW drive (the CD-R/RW drive built-in model only)

(2)Burns a CD using an external CD-R/RW drive

(3)Burns a CD using the CD-R function of a PC

Regardless of the burning methods above, you must carry out the following preparation for burning an audio CD.

1

Mix down recorded track signals and bounce to tracks 15/16.

There are two methods for bouncing tracks to tracks 15/16. One is to bounce to tracks 15/16 of the same song, while the other is to bounce to tracks 15/16 of the New song. See pages 75 through 88 for details about track bouncing.

2

Convert the song data bounced to tracks 15/16 to a stereo WAV file.

A converted stereo WAV file is stored to the "2MIX" folder in the song. When you create an audio CD, this WAV file is recorded to a CD-R/RW disc. See page 104 for details about WAV file conversion.

In short, after preparing the stereo WAV file(s) to be burned, you can burn the file(s) to a CD-R/ RW using either of three burning methods.
