MR16 Owner’s Manual (Basic operations)

This section describes basic mixdown which is the final process of multitrack recording. Mixdown

mixes recorded materials on tracks 1 through 16 down to stereo. The mixdowned material can

be recorded to an external master recorder.

The MR16 is equipped with the [DIGITAL OUT] connector, so you can record a mixdowned signal

to a digital master recorder (DAT, MD, etc.) which can accept an S/P DIF digital signal in digital

domain. With the MR16, you can also record a mixdowned signal internally to a new song of the

MR16 using the track bouncing function, without the need of an external master recorder (see

"Track bouncing" described later).
