4 If you want to add an effect return channel as a bounce-source, press the [SEL] key of that effect return channel.

In the same way as for PLAY TRACK in step 3, you can repeatedly press the [SEL] key to select the bus to which the signal is sent.

NOTE

•If you are using an effect via an effect bus, the bounce opera- tion will not include the effect sound unless you add the signal of the corresponding effect return channel to the bounce-des- tination bus. For details, refer to “Applying Effects via Send and Return” (→ p. 117).

•To control the effect return channels, make the Layer section [IN 1-8] key (or [IN 9-16] key) light.

5 In the RECORD TRACK area, select a bounce-destination track, move the cursor to the symbol for that track, and press the [ENTER] key.

You can select up to four bounce-destination tracks. The odd-numbered tracks can be connected to Bus1 L or Bus2 L, and the even-numbered tracks can be con- nected to Bus1 R or Bus2 R. The [SEL] key will blink red, indicates that the corresponding track is selected as the bounce-destination.

In the same way as for the PLAY TRACK, you can repeatedly press the [ENTER] key to select the signal of the desired input bus.

For example if you move the cursor to the symbol for RECORD TRACK 1 and repeatedly press the [ENTER] key, the screen will change as follows.

•If you move the cursor to the SAFE button and press the [ENTER] key, all connections will be cancelled.

•The track numbers of muted tracks will be displayed as (mute), but you can still record to muted tracks.

•If an unpaired track is selected as a recording-destination, the pan of the corresponding track channels will be set to the cen- ter. If two paired tracks are selected, the pan of the corre- sponding odd-numbered/even-numbered track channels will be spread to left and right respectively.

6 Raise the [STEREO] fader and the faders of the track channel(s) you selected as the bounce-destination to the 0 dB position.

7 Press the RTZ [ ] key to rewind the song. Then hold down the REC [●] key and press the PLAY [ ] key.

The song will begin playing back, and will be recorded on the bounce-destination track(s).

8 While you record the song, raise the faders of the bounce-source track channels and effect return channels to an appropriate level. Adjust the pan, EQ, and dynamics of each channel as necessary.

NOTE

•The bounce-destination faders and pans will not affect the content that is recorded.

•When Auto Punch-in/out is engaged, you can monitor the bounce source track channels during playback even when not recording.
