Newbie question about VF160

[matthew00]

About a month ago I purchased a VF160. I have been messing around with my Boss BR-532 so I have the basics down, but CD burning is a entirely new thing to me. The question that I have is how do I burn more than the first to tracks of a song on to a CD? Everytime I burn a CD only those to tracks are burned. Thanks for reading.

You have to do an INTERNAL MIXDOWN from your (16?) tracks first. It creates a two-track stereo master from your multi-track song. Even if you have only 3 tracks on a song, you still have to do an INTERNAL MIXDOWN to a two-track stereo master. The same thing is true even if you have a one track song... This is pretty well explained under that title in the manual. After you hit STOP when the mixed down song is over, the VF160 makes a whole new program of the new stereo master, using tracks one and two, adding "MIX" to the front of the title you already created. So "MYSONG" will have a two-track stereo master entitled "MIX-MYSONG". This way you can make different final mixes from the same song...

The only other way to burn tracks to a CD is via the BackUp option (wav or FDMS-3). The CD-DA option is what you use for making a music CD and it can only be done properly from a stereo program that says: "MIX.......)
