Then raise the TRACK CUE faders for tracks 7 and 8 only, and press REC READY on tracks 7 and 8.
Press PLAY and set your mix the way you want to hear it, complete with effects, EQ,
and so forth. The recording levels will appear in the meter so you can set your recording level as well. Once you've got everything the way you want it, press PLAY + RECORD to record the bounce. When you're done, disarm REC READY for tracks 7 and 8.
You can listen to your bounce by returning to the beginning of the recording and pressing PLAY. If you're happy with the bounce, you can resume recording other tracks. If not, you can go back and give it another pass until you are happy with the results.
Remember too that you can "punch in" on a bounce, since it is recording to a track on the 788 itself. So, if you were almost to the end before you made a bad fader move, try backing up a little bit and punch in on the recording, just as you would a vocal or guitar part.
FINAL THOUGHTS
As we mentioned at the beginning of this section, this QuickStart "First Session" only scratches the surface of the potential of this recorder. There is deeper detail of the 788 in later sections of this tutorial. Aside from this tutorial, the 788 manual will go into even deeper detail on any specific feature. Be sure to at least flip through the book so you are familiar with what information is covered and where it is, so that you can quickly find what you are looking for.
