You can combine the performances from multiple
tracks into two tracks and record the result on other
tracks, freeing up the original tracks for further record-
ing. This process is called bouncing. You will use this
process when you need to playback more than 16
tracks.
Broadly speaking, tracks can be bounced on the D16 in
the following ways.
• 14 tracks of audio and two external audio input
sources can be recorded on the remaining two
tracks.
• 16 tracks of audio can be overwritten onto two of
these tracks.
• 16 tracks of audio can be recorded on two currently
unselected virtual tracks.
If you use a CD-R/RW drive to create an audio
CD, the data of tracks 1 and 2 will be written to the
disc, so you will need to combine the completed
song onto tracks 1 and 2.
It is also possible to record a mixdown to two of
the D16’s tracks, instead of mixing down your
completed song to an external two-channel
recorder.
