MR16 Owner’s Manual (Track bouncing)

Bouncing tracks 1 through 16 to a new song

You can bounce tracks 1 through 16 to tracks 15/16 of a new song. A new song is automatically created when executing track bouncing (<Note>: In the “1-16 > NEW SONG” mode, you cannot bounce

the desired part of a song by using the track bouncing and auto punch in/out functions together).

<Using bounced track data>

By converting bounced track data (in two mono WAV files) to a stereo WAV file, you can export it to a personal computer or create an original audio CD using the internal (or an external) CD-R/ RW drive. See page 107 for details about how to export a file to a personal computer. See the supplementary manual "How to use the CD-R/RW drive" for details about burning an audio CD using the internal (or an external) CD-R/RW drive.

<Hint>: When bouncing tracks to a new song, the settings for the following parameters are copied to the new song.

Rhythm guide On/Off, Internal click level, Signature, Tempo, Conductor map On/Off, Signature map, Tempo map, Bar offset, Locate A point, Locate B point

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 follow- ing assumes that the song you are going to execute track bouncing is loaded.
