How Do I Bounce Tracks?
Bouncing tracks is a common recording technique used to
free up additional recording tracks, or as you prepare a song
for CD production by combining (“or bouncing”) audio
recorded on multiple tracks to a single track or stereo pair of
tracks. New material can then be recorded to the original
tracks if necessary. On the VS-1824, you can record new
tracks without recording over the original material by
recording on different V-Tracks. Also, because the bouncing
is performed digitally, so you are not adding noise each time
you bounce tracks. Use the following procedure to bounce
Tracks 1-16 to Tracks 17 and 18:
