Mix Automation and sophisticated editing

Mixer settings such as fader, EQ, pan, and effects can be stored in a scene, and up to 100 scenes can be stored for each song. D1600mkII mixer data, such as fade and pan, can be transmitted and received via MIDI.

Since this recorder is fully digital, you can easily edit and arrange your songs with operations such as copy, insert, and paste. You can also set four Locate points and up to 100 Mark points per song for instant navigation. An assortment of edit tools can help you polish your tracks even further: you can swap audio regions – or all data in tracks – with other tracks, plus you can Reverse, Optimize, Normalize, Fade In or Out, or Expand/Compress track data. The Undo and Redo functions give you up to 99 levels of undo.

Internal hard drive with USB access

Housed inside the D1600mkII is a large 40 GB hard drive, providing a whopping 125 hours of recording time (at 16 bit recording, one track). Two GB of hard drive space (FAT 16 format) is automatically allocated as a USB drive that can be accessed from both the D1600mkII and directly from a computer. By saving song data or .WAV files in this area, you can easily backup or restore song data, import or export .WAV files, or even load system data. This makes it easy to move your songs into computer-based applications, and to even email song files via the Internet.

Enhanced CD functions

The D1600mkII also includes an 32x CD-RW drive (10x re-write), which can be used to backup/restore data, to create multiple audio CDs, even to playback and record directly from an audio CD. The new “Disk At Once” feature allows you to arrange your songs and burn them to CD in a single pass.
