14—Working with Track Channels

Link the Destination Tracks For a Stereo Bounce

To link the adjacent odd/even tracks on which you’ll be recording a stereo bounce:
1. Press the FADER button that selects the group of track channels containing those
that correspond to the desired destination tracks.
2. Press either destination track channel’s CH EDIT button.
3. Turn ChLink on.

Routing Tracks for a Bounce

To set up track bouncing, you can use any of three methods:
You can use Quick Routing—see below. (For Quick Routing basics, see Page 172.)
You can use the EZ ROUTING VIEW screen, described on Page 198.
You can also use a destination track’s ASSIGN screen, described on Page 167.

Quick-Routing a Bounce

1. Press the FADER button for the group of track channels that contains the channel
that corresponds to the desired destination track.
2. Hold down the destination track channel’s TRACK STATUS button for a second or
so until the QUICK ROUTING screen appears. (If you’re bouncing in stereo, hold
down either TRACK STATUS button belonging to the destination linked tracks.)
The FADER button you pressed in Step 1 and the TRACK STATUS button you held
down in Step 2 light solidly to show the currently selected group of SELECT
buttons and the current destination track or linked tracks. If any channels are
already routed to the destination track, their SELECT buttons also light solidly.
Each pair of stereo linked track channels or hard disk recorder tracks appears as a
single stereo object with a single virtual connection wire during routing. Therefore,
when the following sections describe the bouncing of mono source track channels to
mono destination tracks, the steps apply equally to linked source track channels and
linked destination tracks—they act just like their unlinked counterparts when you’re
setting up routing.
You can also include input channels, Aux and Direct busses and FX return channels in a
bounce. When you bounce tracks and live input signals, it’s called a “live bounce.”
You can save any routing you create as an EZ Routing template. See Chapter 23 to learn
about EZ Routing templates.
