MR16 Owner’s Manual (Read this chapter first!)
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.
How to burn an audio CD
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.
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.
