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 sig-
nals 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.
