Mix Audio Tracks Using Hard Drive
By mixing an audio CD through the hard drive, all the tracks you select from the audio CD will be transferred to the hard drive. Once you’ve completed your track selection, you will be instructed to copy them onto blank CD-R media.
Mixing through the hard drive is considered a safer method for creating mixed audio tracks compared to mixing directly to CD. If any of the audio CD tracks you wish to mix are not readable due to scratches or bad quality, the blank CD-R media will NOT be ruined since the blank CD-R media isn’t being recorded on until all audio CD tracks are successfully transferred to the hard drive.
