MR-8HD Owner’s Manual (Track bouncing)

Bouncing tracks 1 through 8 to a new song

You can bounce tracks 1 through 8 to tracks 7/8 of a new song. A new song is automatically created when executing track bouncing (<Note>: In the “1-8 > NEW SONG” mode, you cannot bounce the desired part of a song by using the track bouncing and auto punch in/out functions together).

Rehearsal of track bouncing

Before executing track bouncing, you can rehearse it. While rehearsing track bouncing, 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 are satisfied with the sound. The following assumes that the song you are going to execute track bouncing is loaded.

1)Raise the [MASTER] fader to the "" position. Set all the track faders down to the minimum position.

2)Press the [PLAY] key to start playback from the beginning of the song.

3)While playing back the song, adjust playback levels of tracks 1 through 8 using the track faders.

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

During rehearsal and actual track bouncing, the track faders and [MASTER] fader control the following signal levels.

Faders	Playback levels of tracks 1 through
1 through 8	8 for bouncing.
[MASTER]	Recording master levels of bounc-
fader	ing.

During rehearsal and actual track bouncing, the level meters on the screen show the fol- lowing signal levels.

Meters	Playback levels of tracks 1 through
1 through 8	8.
Meters	Output levels of STEREO OUT (=
L and R	recording levels of bouncing)

By raising the [PHONES VOL] control, you can hear the bounced signals.

Use the track faders (1 through 8) to control the track output levels, and use the [MASTER] fader to adjust the master recording levels of the bounced signals appropriately while check- ing meters L/R.

See "Using effects" on page 57 for details about the delay/reverb and mastering effects.

4)After finishing rehearsal, press the [STOP] key to stop the recorder and locate it to the beginning of the song.

Do not move the controls and faders after finishing rehearsal.
