Bouncing tracks 1–8

Now you can bounce a performance which was
recorded on all eight tracks. Here’s how to bounce
the sound of tracks 1–8 to tracks 7 and 8 in stereo.
(Refer to p.17)
The data which had been in the bounce recording
destination tracks 7 and 8 will be overwritten, so
be sure to copy the song before you perform this
operation.

■Playback track and recording track settings

1Press the [REC SELECT] key several
times to select MASTER (indicator lit).
With a setting of MASTER, you can
use the master bus as the input for
recording.
2Press the [TRACK STATUS] keys for tracks 1–6
several times to set each one to PLAY (indicator lit
green), to select these as playback tracks. Press
tracks 7/8 [TRACK STATUS] key several times to
select REC (ANALOG) (indicator blinking red), to
select it as the recording track.
3Rotate the [PAN] knobs of tracks 1–8 to place each
track in the desired stereo location.

■Adjusting the playback level and recording level

4Press the [PLAY] key to begin playback.
5Raise [CHANNEL] faders 1–8 to adjust the play-
back level of each track.
6Raise the [MASTER] fader to adjust the recording
level to tracks 7/8. The master level meter L/R will
show the recording level.

■Applying EQ and effects as you record

7As desired, apply EQ and effects to tracks 1–8 as
you record.

■Starting and stopping recording

8Press the [REC] key, and then press the [PLAY] key
to begin recording. To stop recording, press the
[STOP] key.

■Playing back the recorded content (Playback)

9Set tracks 7/8 to PLAY (indicator lit green) and the
others to MUTE.
10 Move the current time location to a point earlier
than where you begin recording, and playback to
check the result.
If after checking the result, you decide to do the
operation over again, press the [UNDO] key.
Tracks 7 and 8 will return to the condition in which
they were before the track bounce operation, so
you can repeat the operation as many times as you
like until you are happy with the results. At this
time, if you simply record without remembering to
press the [UNDO] key, the original data of tracks 7
and 8 will be lost, so we recommend that you make
a copy of the song before performing the track
bounce operation.
