3-6. Ping-pong recording

This section explains how to perform ping-pong recording.

Ping-pong recording enables you to combine multiple recorded tracks and copy them to an empty track. You can then overdub additional sounds onto the previously-recorded tracks, adding instrumentation or musical parts to your recording.

*In this example, we are going to ping-pong Tracks 1 through 6 to Tracks 9 and 10.

Since effects cannot be applied to each sound individually after ping-pong recording, we need to apply effects here on the mixer and record the effect sound to Tracks 9 and 10.

*Set the D-160 to the default setting.

*Check the Program selection and the sampling rate setting. Do not change these settings until this session is complete.
