tracks (13–16) that you wish to mix down.

8. Press [PLAY]. The song will play back.
9. Raise and lower the Master fader to set the overall

optimal audio quality, you should normally set this to the 0
dB position.

balance of each track. At this time the sound that is being

without causing it to distort.

[STOP].

mixdown (such as 00h00m00s00f).
