The VS-1680 allows you to take a project from its beginning stages all the way to a finished CD. What steps need to be taken to produce a finished CD? A general description of the recording process might be as follows:

* Recording Basic Tracks
* Editing your Tracks
* Mixing your Tracks
* Mastering your Tracks to a Final Stereo Mix
* Preparing your Stereo Mix for CD
This section covers some of the common questions that arise during the CD preparation phase of the recording process. If you haven't already, you will need to mix your songs down to a two track stereo format. You can do this by recording to an external device such as a DAT machine or cassette deck or by "bouncing" your tracks down to a stereo pair within the VS-1680 itself. If you are unsure of the procedure for bouncing tracks, refer to section IX.
