Creating an Audio CD on the D1600
Go through this section once you have one or more songs completed on the D1600.
You can produce an audio CD on the D1600, if the Korg CDRW-2 or other compatible CD-R or CD-RW drive
is installed. Most consumer CD players will not playback CD-RW disks. If you plan to playback any D1600
CD masters on consumer CD players, use good quality CD-R media for mastering.
Note: You can also master to compatible external CD-R/CD-RW drives via the D1600 SCSI connector.
• Before a CD can be mastered on the D1600, all track data must be mixed down to tracks 1 and 2.
• If no audio data exists on tracks 1 and 2, you can bounce record tracks 3-16 to tracks 1-2 (see
Owner’s Manual, pg. 29 for more information).
• If audio data does exist on tracks 1 and 2, you can create Virtual mixdowns of all 16 tracks, to
tracks 1 and 2 Virtual tracks b-h. (Up to 7 mixes can be created, and the best Virtual mix can be
selected for mastering). When writing to CD, the D1600 writes from the audio source on the
currently selected Virtual tracks. See the section in this guide titled “Create a 16-2 Virtual
Mixdown”. Also see the D1600 Owner’s Manual, page 30.
Once you’ve mixed down each of your songs to tracks 1 and 2…
Insert a blank region of audio at the beginning of the song:
This only needs to be done for the first song you write to CD, because some audio CD players may “skip”
over the first several hundred milliseconds at the beginning of an audio track. Then in the writing process, the
D1600 automatically creates a two second region of silence before the next song is written to CD.
1. Press the SONG key, then press the “SongSel” tab.
2. Go to the song beginning, then change the “”Counter” display so that it indicates minutes, seconds,
and milliseconds (“000:00.000”).
3. Press the STORE key, then press the IN/LOC1 key to store an IN point at the song beginning.
4. Press to highlight the millisecond location on the “Counter” (“000:00.000”), then rotate the DIAL to set
the milliseconds to read “.300”.
5. Press the STORE key, then press the OUT/LOC2 key to store an OUT point.
6. Press the TRACK key, then press the “EditTrk” tab, and select the “Insert” radio button, followed by
pressing the “OK” button.
7. Press to highlight the “ 1 “ edit cell, then rotate the DIAL to read “1 – 2”.
8. Press the “Exec.” Button, then press the “Yes” button. You’ve just inserted 300 milliseconds at the
beginning of tracks 1 and 2.
