“Bounce” is a function that mixes the sound from the audio

The illustration below shows the signal flow when performing
bounce recording on the HD8.

•You can mix the signals from the INPUT jacks into the bounce
recording.
If you select only one mono track as the bounce destination, a
signal mixed to mono will be recorded.
If necessary, you can play back all tracks, and bounce the signal
onto an empty V-take of a selected track.
Before using the bounce function, you may have to make
certain settings.
