ISO File Format (recommended)
This is a disc image file, for burning to a CD.
After downloading the ISO file, open the folder containing the file and:
- Mac: Right click on the file and select “Burn to disc” from the context menu.
- Windows: Right click on the file and select “Burn disc imge” from the context menu.
If you don’t see an option to burn, you may need to download 3rd party software capable of burning .iso files.
WAV File Format
Serato Control CD.wav is a 15-minute stereo 44.1KHz wave file that you can drop into any CD burning application, or run directly off a removable storage device such as a USB key or removable hard drive.
When burning the .wav file to a CD, ensure you burn as an Audio CD (not a data CD), do not adjust the audio levels, make sure any audio auto-levelling features are turned off, and do not down-sample the audio or use a different audio format. In short, burn it exactly as is.
Note: When burning the .wav file to a CD, you won’t have Track 2 (Scroll/Select) which is used to scroll through your songs for track selection. If you require this, please burn using the ISO file instead.
