tracks (1–10) to PLAY (LED lit green), and the recording
tracks (11, 12) to REC (LED lit red).

2. Creating an original CD

2-1. Creating an audio CD
Using the optional CDRW-1 (sold separately) installed in the
D1200, you can create an audio CD of a song that you record-
ed on the D1200.
For details on installing the CDRW-1, refer to p.149.
In order for you to create an audio CD, the hard disk
must have as much free space as occupied by the song
you are creating (the total of two tracks). For example if
you want to create an audio CD of a five-minute song,
you will need as much free space as occupied by a ten-
minute monaural recording.
Writing a song to an CD
1 Select the song that you want to write.
2 Listen to the mixed-down song.
Use the faders and knobs to adjust the volume and pan
etc. of the tracks, and play back to check the result.
To enable recall of the registered scenes, turn the
[SCENE] "ReadDel" tab page "SceneRead" setting
"On."
3 Apply a final effect. ( p.43)
4 Bounce-record to two tracks.
Mix your song down to two tracks as described in "1-1.
Combining multiple tracks into two tracks" ( p.64).
If a song containing no silence at the beginning (i.e., at
"zero" time) is written to CD, some sound at the begin-
ning of the song may be skipped when the CD is played
back. If this is the case, insert about 0.5 seconds of si-
lence at the beginning of the mixdown audio data.
( p.58, 109: "InsertTrack")
5 Access the [CD] "Prepare" tab page.
• Turn the "DiscAtOnce" button off.
• Set "SelTrks" to the two tracks where the final mix
that you want to master is recorded.
• Turn "TrackMonitor" on, and press the [PLAY] key to
hear the sound of the tracks you selected in
"SelTrks." Watch the meters to see whether the level
is too low or too high (clipping).
6 Insert a disc into the CDRW-1.
Use either a blank disc or a disc that has not yet been
finalized.
7 Access the [CD] "CDR/RW" tab page.
