Mixdown and bounce operations
82
“Bounce” is the process by which the signals recorded on
multiple tracks are mixed to the stereo bus, and re-
recorded on one or two other tracks. (This process is also
called “ping-pong recording.”)
The diagram below shows the signal flow during bounc-
ing. This process differs from mixdown in several points;
you use the L/R bus instead of the stereo bus, only the
track channels are the recording sources, and that the
recording-destination is one or two vacant tracks. This
diagram shows an example in which the track 1–8 signals
are bounced to tracks 9/10. After bouncing, you can
switch the virtual tracks for tracks 1–8, and use these
tracks to record other instrumental performances.

The Pitch Fix function can be used to edit and correct the
pitch and other properties of vocal tracks. Pitch Fix is dif-
ferent from Bounce in that only one source and destina-
tion track can be selected, and that no other effects can be
used while the Pitch Fix function is active.
