Mixdown and bounce operations

“Bouncing” is the action of mixing the signals recorded
on multiple tracks, and recording the mixed result into one
to four vacant tracks. (This action is also called “ping-
pong recording.”) For example if you’ve recorded individ-
ual instruments of a drum set on multiple tracks, you can
bounce these tracks down to two tracks, and then switch
the bounce-source tracks to different virtual tracks so that
they will be free to record new instruments.
Bouncing differs from mixdown in the following ways.
The destination of the track channels is Bus 1/Bus 2
rather than the stereo bus.
The recording-destination will be a vacant audio
track (or tracks).
•You can’t add the signals of input channels.
The diagram below shows the signal flow during bounc-
ing. This diagram shows an example in which the track 1–
8 signals are bounced to tracks 9–12. After bouncing, you
can switch the virtual tracks for tracks 1–8, and use these
tracks to record other instrumental performances.
