Step 3: Write the Song to a CD-R Disk
This procedure is described in detail in the AW4416 operation guide (page 255),
so we won’t go into it here. But now you know how the entire process works —
from the basic tracks to CD.
Practice, Practice …
Really. Mixing and mastering are skills which, like playing an instrument, can
only be acquired through practice. You have the tools (the AW4416 is about the
coolest little mixing and mastering toolkit you can lay your hands on), now it’s up
to you to learn how to use them like a pro. Don’t be afraid to go back and change
things. Even if you’ve gone right through the process and mastered a CD, if it
doesn’t sound right when you play it back on CD player, by all means go back
and make the necessary changes. That’s how we learn. As you gain experience
and skill the need to backtrack and redo things will decrease, and you’ll make
better mixes more quickly and easily.
Happy mixing!
