Putting Multiple Tracks Together (Bounce)

Although the BR-900CD allows the simultaneous playback of eight tracks, when you run out of tracks, the BR-900CD also lets you copy the recordings of multiple tracks together onto one track (V-Track). This is called “bounce” (also known as bounce recording or ping-pong recording). By combining multiple tracks in this way, you can free up other tracks in order to record additional performances.

In bounce mode, you can play back eight tracks simultaneously and record them all to a single, separate V-Track.

When input sources are selected with INPUT SELECT, you can have those sounds recorded together. Furthermore, you can include the sounds from the Rhythm in the recording.

Separate V-Track

The explanation below uses an example of mixing the monaural recording on tracks 1 and 2 and the stereo recording on tracks 3 and 4, and bouncing them to V-Track 2 of tracks 3 and 4.

1.Set the pan for tracks 1 and 2 to the locations you desire, set the pan for track 3 all the way to the left (L50), and the pan for track 4 all the way to the right (R50).

“Setting the positioning (pan) of the sound” (p. 42)

2.Play back the song and adjust the volumes for the tracks 1 to 4 using the REC TRACK faders.

The overall volume is adjusted by the MASTER fader. At this time, raise the volume as high as possible without allowing the sound to distort.

Lower the faders for the tracks that you do not want to mix.

*When using bounce recording, you can record the sounds with insert effects (p. 84), loop effects (p. 108), Track EQ (p. 110), or Pitch Correction (p. 114) applied. When using the insert effects, refer to “Changing How the Insert Effects are Used According to the Mode” (p. 87).

3.Press [STOP].

4.Press [REC MODE] repeatedly until “BOUNCE” is indicated for REC MODE at the left of the screen. The INPUT SELECT indicator goes out, and the input source is automatically muted. This prevents the input source from being mixed in and recorded during bounce recording.

*If you wish to mix an input source as part of the bounce recording, press [INPUT SELECT] to select the desired input source. At this time, you can apply loop effects (p. 108) to the sound of the input source.

5.If you want to mix in the sound of the Rhythm as well, increase the Rhythm fader.

If you do not want to record the Rhythm, lower the fader.
