Creating CDs
Have you ever wanted to have someone listen to your music that you recorded? If so, CDs are better than cassette
tapes. A CD is more likely to get heard because CD players, and CD car stereos are really common. Once you learn
how, making CDs is easy, so you should learn how to do it.
Making a CD
Transfer the sound  le (WAV)
on the SD card to a PC via a
USB connection.
Copy the mixed down data
to a CD.
Mix down with“Cakewalk
SONAR7 Producer Edition.”
If you’ve recorded four channels simultaneously on the R-44, and want to create a CD from your recording, you’ll
need to adjust the volume of the four channels and combine them into two-channel stereo data. This process is
called “mixdown,” and will allow you to create a CD that sounds the way you want.
In this example, we provide a simple explanation of using the Windows software “Cakewalk SONAR7 Producer Edi-
tion” (sold separately) to turn the four channels of data (STEREO x 2) recorded by the R-44 into two-channel stereo,
and use this data to create a CD. (For details, refer to the owner’s manual or Help  le of the software you’re using.)
Manipulate the screen to adjust the volume
of each channel.
Write the exported data to a CD.

Export the data.
The data format should be a WAV  le at 16 bit/
44.1 kHz.
If you know that you are going to create a CD from
the beginning, we recommend recording with 16
bit/44.1 kHz on the R-44. Since this is the same as
the CD speci cations, it will take just a short time to
convert the data.
