Editing a recorded performance to create an audio CD

Preparing to write a CD-R disc—Mixdown

The process of combining the performances recorded on multiple audio tracks into
two-channel stereo is called mixdown. Before you mixdown, you will complete the
song by adjusting the tone (equalizer), left/right position (pan), loop effects, and
volume balance settings of each track.

Setting the left/right position (pan) of each audio track

1. Press TRACK EDIT [PAN].

Adjusting the tone of each audio track—Equalizer

The mixer section of the CDX-1 provides a two-band equalizer (EQ) for each audio
track, allowing you to independently adjust the tone of the low-frequency and high-
frequency ranges.
