MR-8 Owner’s Manual

Rehearsal of track bounce

Before executing track bounce, you can rehearse it. During rehearsal, you can control the playback level, panning and reverb (or delay) send setting of each source track, as well as apply the mastering effect to the mixed L/R signals. We recommend to make rehearsal thoroughly until you satisfy the sound. The following shows the rehearsal procedure in the "1-6 > 7/8" mode. We assume that record-

ings have been already made to tracks 1 through 6.

1)Select the song you are going to bounce tracks.

2)Use the [1-4 > 5/6, 1-6 > 7/8] key to select "1-6 > 7/8" bounce mode.

Selecting this bounce mode automatically arms tracks 7/8 and changes the monitoring for these tracks to input monitoring.

5)While playing back, adjust playback levels of tracks 1 through 4 and 5/6 using the appropriate track faders.

You can also adjust panning for tracks 1 through 4, apply the reverb or delay to these tracks, as well as apply the mastering effect to the mixed sound.
