Hi! A month ago I purchased the BR-1600CD and am pretty new to recording and such. Anyway, I have a song all recorded, but am having trouble transferring it to CD with good quality. It sounds fine through the machine but when I transfer it to CD and play it on a stereo, there are a few problems. First, it does not play on normal volume levels. You have to turn up the stereo to a significantly higher volume than normal CDs in order to hear anything. Also, there is a strange humming that can be heard, especially during quite parts. I tried the mastering feature but am not really sure how it works or what the right way to do it is. If anyone has any info that can help me out I would really really appreciate it. Thanks...
