Creating stereo master tracks
When you are satisfied with the mix of your tracks,
you can mix them down to a stereo master track.
A stereo master recorded by this unit is saved as
part of the song, and can be recorded by an external
stereo recorder. It can also be converted by the unit
into a WAV file and exported to a computer where
the sound can be processed further or combined
with other recordings. (See “Exporting stereo master
NOTE
Only one stereo master can be made in a song at a
time.
