Ping-Pong Recording

The ping-pong recording technique allows you to mix and record several tracks onto another

empty track. This is often used to free up tracks for more recording, since those original tracks

are then used for further recording. This technique is useful when you wish to record many

different instruments or sound sources individually. The following illustration shows that the

ping-pong technique and overdubbing allows you to record seven sound sources.

This section explains how to mix and record existing Tracks 1–3 data onto Track 4 as an

example.

1Set the [INPUT–FLIP] switches on Input

Channels 1–3 to “TAPE ( )”, and the

[INPUT-FLIP] switch on Input Channel 4 to

“MIC/LINE ( )”.

Playback sound on Tracks 1–3 is sent via Input

Channels 1–3 to the Stereo bus.

2Set the [REC SELECT] switch on Track 4 to

“R”.

The Track 4 REC SELECT indicator flashes, and the R

channel of the Stereo bus signal is selected as a

recording source for Track 4. Set the [REC SELECT]

switches on Tracks 1–3 to “OFF”.
