Mixdown and bounce operations
82
“Bounce” is the process by which the signals recorded on
multiple tracks are mixed to the stereo bus, and re-
recorded on one or two other tracks. (This process is also
called “ping-pong recording.”)
The diagram below shows the signal flow during bounc-
ing. This process differs from mixdown in several points;
you use the L/R bus instead of the stereo bus, only the
track channels are the recording sources, and that the
recording-destination is one or two vacant tracks. This
diagram shows an example in which the track 1–8 signals
are bounced to tracks 9/10. After bouncing, you can
switch the virtual tracks for tracks 1–8, and use these
tracks to record other instrumental performances.
● Signal flow during bouncing
The Pitch Fix function can be used to edit and correct the
pitch and other properties of vocal tracks. Pitch Fix is dif-
ferent from Bounce in that only one source and destina-
tion track can be selected, and that no other effects can be
used while the Pitch Fix function is active.
