During rehearsal and actual track bouncing,
level meters on the screen show the following
signals.
Playback levels of tracks 1 through 4.
Playback level of tracks 5/6 for record-
ing.
Recording level of tracks 7/8.
Monitor output levels (STEREO OUT L
and R).
By raising the [PHONES VOL] control, you can
hear the signals bounced to tracks 7/8.
Use the [7/8] fader to control the monitor
output level, and use the [MASTER] fader to
adjust the recording level appropriately while
watching the meter 7/8.
See "Applying effects" on page 38 for details
<Panning control>
You can freely adjust panning for tracks 1
through 4 using the PAN controls. For ex-
ample, a guitar to left, a vocal to center,
etc.
<Note>
We recommend to rehearse track bouncing thor-
oughly to decide the recording level, effect set-
ting, panning, etc. until you are satisfied.
6) After finishing rehearsal, locate the beginning of
the song.
Do not move the controls and faders after finishing
rehearsal.
After finishing rehearsal, let's carry out the ac-
tual track bounce.
1) Before carrying out the actual track bounce, make
sure that the bounce mode is active.
2) Press the [PLAY] key while holding down the
[RECORD] key.
The track bounce starts with the effect/level
settings made in the rehearsal mode and the mixed
signals are recorded onto tracks 7/8.
3) After completing the track bounce, press the [STOP]
key to stop the recorder.
Stopping the recorder changes the monitoring of
tracks 7/8 to repro monitoring.
You can check the bounced signals while the
bounce mode is active.
1) Press the [REWIND] key while holding down the
[STOP] key to locate the beginning of the song.
2) Make sure that the monitoring of tracks 7/8 is repro
monitoring.
3) Press the [PLAY] key to start playback from the
beginning of the song.
4) Use the [7/8] fader to control the playback level of
the bounced signals.
By playing back the recorder while the bounce mode
("1-6 > 7/8") is active, only tracks 7/8 can be
monitored. In this condition, you cannot monitor
playback signals of tracks 1 through 6 even if you
raise the appropriate faders.
If you want to redo the track bounce, use the undo
function to go back to the condition before
carrying out the track bounce, and try again.
<Auto punch in/out of track bouncing>
You can bounce a desired part using the
auto punch in/out function (see page 35).
