When you make audio CD, WAV/AIFF data must be 16bit and 44.1 kHz sampling rate. But audio data of the MRS-4 is 16 bit and 32 kHz sampling rate, so you need to convert sampling rate. You can convert it by DAW software or free software in the market. Please note that monaural data cannot be audio CD, so you have to convert it to 2 track (stereo) WAV file. Card Manager for Mac can convert each track to monaural AIFF, so you also need to convert it to stereo track by using DAW software.

If you need to make data with effect, please execute "bounce" while using send/return effects. Please refer "Bounce" function on the operation manual.
