Bouncing
You can bounce to
one track, if you
want, but you will probably want to
bounce in stereo.
“Bouncing” on the DP-01 refers to the technique of mixing recorded
tracks through the
MASTER fader to a pair of unused tracks.
You might use a track bounce operation in the following situation:
You’ve recorded the drums in stereo, the bass and two rhythm guitars (one
acoustic and one electric) and an electric guitar lead line. There are two
tracks left. You’d like some stereo organ added in, and there are two lead
vocal lines to record, as well as at least one set of backing vocals. But there
are only two tracks left!
Luckily, you can bounce everything through the stereo tracks, and record
them onto the two spare tracks.
You may want to
copy the song and
give it another name (see “Copying
songs” on page 42) before starting
the bounce, so that you can go
back to the original if necessary.
1 “Un-arm” (safe) the existing tracks so that you don’t accidentally
record over them.
2 Press the BOUNCE key (above the MASTER fader) so that it lights.
3 Arm the two tracks which you are mixing to.
4 Use the faders and mixer controls of the tracks you’re bouncing to cre-
ate a stereo mix.
5 Adjust the overall level of the mix using the MASTER fader. Watch the
L and R meters on the right side of the display so that the level is
adjusted to the optimum level. During this step, mute the tracks at the
bounce destination.
6 When you’re ready, use PLAY and RECORD to record the mix onto the
two armed tracks from start to end, with no stops. “Safe” the armed
tracks.
You can also use
auto punch record-
ing (“Punching” on page 32) to
bounce only part of a song between
the IN and OUT points.
You can now record over the original tracks you bounced, playing
along to the stereo pair created from the bounce.
