Mixing Mastering effect

STEREO OUT (L, R)

In the "1-6 > 7/8" mode, tracks 1 through 6 are played back and mixed down to stereo, and bounced to tracks 7/8.

In this mode, you can apply a reverb (or de- lay) to tracks 1 through 4, as well as the mas- tering effect to the mixed signals.

From headphones (or monitor speakers), you can hear the signals bounced to tracks 7/8 (i.e. mixed signals).

In the "1-4 > 5/6" mode, tracks 1 through 4 are played back and mixed down to stereo, and bounced to tracks 5/6.

As with the "1-6 > 7/8" mode, you can apply a reverb (or delay) to tracks 1 through 4, as well as the mastering effect to the mixed sig- nals.

From headphones (or monitor speakers), you can hear the signals bounced to tracks 5/6 (i.e. mixed signals) as well as playback signals of tracks 7/8.

Selecting the bounce mode

While the recorder is stopped, each press of the [1-4 > 5/6, 1-6 > 7/8] key switches the bounce mode among "1-4 > 5/6" mode", "1-6 > 7/8" mode and off.

1-4 > 5/6	7/8 > STEREO
1-6 > 7/8	WAV FILE

BOUNCE

When either of the bounce modes is selected, the destination tracks (5/6 or 7/8) are automati- cally armed and change to input monitoring, as well as the screen shows the appropriate bounce mode.
