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)

Track 1
Track 2
Track 3
Track 4	Track 7
Track 5	Track 8
Track 6	(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8)
Track 7
Track 8

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.

10Move 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.
