Ping-Pong Recording
The ping-pong recording technique allows you to mix and record several tracks onto another
empty track. This is often used to free up tracks for more recording, since those original tracks
are then used for further recording. This technique is useful when you wish to record many
different instruments or sound sources individually. The following illustration shows that the
ping-pong technique and overdubbing allows you to record seven sound sources.
This section explains how to mix and record existing Tracks 1–3 data onto Track 4 as an
example.
1 Set the [INPUT–FLIP] switches on Input
Channels 1–3 to “TAPE ( )”, and the
[INPUT-FLIP] switch on Input Channel 4 to
“MIC/LINE ( )”.
Playback sound on Tracks 1–3 is sent via Input
Channels 1–3 to the Stereo bus.
2 Set the [REC SELECT] switch on Track 4 to
“R”.
The Track 4 REC SELECT indicator flashes, and the R
channel of the Stereo bus signal is selected as a
recording source for Track 4. Set the [REC SELECT]
switches on Tracks 1–3 to “OFF”.
