About mixdown and bouncing

“Bouncing” is the action of mixing the signals recorded on multiple tracks, and recording the mixed result into one to four vacant tracks. (This action is also called “ping- pong recording.”) For example if you’ve recorded individ- ual instruments of a drum set on multiple tracks, you can bounce these tracks down to two tracks, and then switch the bounce-source tracks to different virtual tracks so that they will be free to record new instruments.

Bouncing differs from mixdown in the following ways.

•The destination of the track channels is Bus 1/Bus 2 rather than the stereo bus.

•The recording-destination will be a vacant audio track (or tracks).

•You can’t add the signals of input channels.

The diagram below shows the signal flow during bounc- ing. This diagram shows an example in which the track 1– 8 signals are bounced to tracks 9–12. After bouncing, you can switch the virtual tracks for tracks 1–8, and use these tracks to record other instrumental performances.
