Quick Start; Step 1: Quick Recording; Make Connections; Turn On The Power - Korg D1600mkII Owner's Manual

The Quick Start section consists of the following four steps.
We'll begin our explanation by telling how to connect your equipment,
and take you all the way through to the final step of writing your per-
formance to CD-R. Please take some time to work through this Quick
Start so that you can become familiar with the process of recording on the
D1600mkII.

Step 1: Quick Recording

Connect your guitar, record your performance on a track, and then play
it back.
Step 2: Overdubbing
While listening to the performance you recorded, record an additional
guitar performance. We'll also explain how you can record a keyboard in
stereo, or record vocals using the virtual tracks.
Step 3: Mixdown
Apply effects to each track, and adjust the volume and EQ. Then use the
master effect to apply finishing touches to the entire song.
Step 4: Mastering
Create a two-track master from the song you mixed-down in Step 3. Then
write this stereo master track to CD-R to create your own original CD.
