MR-8HD/CD Owner’s Manual (Track bouncing)
You can bounce tracks 1 through 8 to tracks 7/8 of a new song. A new song is automatically
created when executing track bouncing (<Note>: In the “1-8 > NEW SONG” mode, you cannot bounce
the desired part of a song by using the track bouncing and auto punch in/out functions together).
Before executing track bouncing, you can rehearse it. While rehearsing track bouncing, you can
control the playback level, panning and reverb (or delay) send setting of each source track, as well as
apply the mastering effect to the mixed L/R signals. We recommend to make rehearsal thoroughly
until you are satisfied with the sound. The following assumes that the song you are going to execute
track bouncing is loaded.
During rehearsal and actual track bouncing,
the level meters on the screen show the fol-
lowing signal levels.
1) Raise the [MASTER] fader to the " " position.
Set all the track faders down to the minimum
position.
2) Press the [PLAY] key to start playback from the
beginning of the song.
3) While playing back the song, adjust playback levels
of tracks 1 through 8 using the track faders.

Bouncing tracks 1 through 8 to a new song
By raising the [PHONES VOL] control, you can
hear the bounced signals.
You can also adjust panning for tracks 1 through
4 and apply the reverb or delay to these tracks,
as well as apply the mastering effect to the mixed
sound. During rehearsal and actual track bounc-
ing, the track faders and [MASTER] fader control
the following signal levels.
<Using bounced track data>
By converting bounced track data (in two mono WAV files) to a stereo WAV file, you can export
it to a personal computer or create an original audio CD using the internal (or an external) CD-R/
RW drive. See page 90 for details about how to export a file to a personal computer. See the
supplementary manual "How to use the CD-R/RW drive" for details about burning an audio CD
using the internal (or an external) CD-R/RW drive.
