About Audio Tracks
2-to-1 Bounce-Down
2-to-1 Bounce-Down is configured by setting the Sample•Source Select, REC SRC Field 1 to
MAIN-OUT and Field 2 to LEFT or RIGHT (i.e. this will be re-recorded in mono, since only one
track is selected). The selected Audio Track is the destination for the bounced-down
AudioSample. This creates a single AudioSample out of all AudioSamples that were triggered by
both Audio Tracks. The original material on the track that was not the destination (i.e.: was not
selected) for the bounce-down is left unchanged. Make sure that all Instrument•Sequence Tracks
are muted (on the Edit/(seq) Track, Status page or they will be bounced-down as well.
• If you are bouncing down to Audio Track A, you should adjust the Edit/(audio) Track PAN
settings to the left side, so that they will be recorded properly.
• If you are bouncing down to Audio Track B, you should adjust the Edit/(audio) Track PAN
settings to the right side, so that they will be recorded properly.
2-to-2 Bounce-Down
2-to-2 Bounce-Down is configured by setting the Sample•Source Select, REC SRC Field 1 to
MAIN-OUT and Field 2 to L+R (i.e. this will be re-recorded in stereo, since both tracks are
selected). This creates two AudioSamples — one for each Audio Track — out of all of the
AudioSamples that were triggered by both Audio Tracks. Make sure that all
Instrument•Sequence Tracks are muted (on the Edit/(seq) Track, Status page, or they will be
bounced-down as well.
Tip:
When Sample•Source Select, REC SRC=MAIN-OUT, and Edit/Seq•Song, CLICK=REC, the
click will be muted to prevent it from being recorded. You can set it to ON and route it to AUX 1,
2, or 3 if you still want to hear it during recording.
Notes on Bounce-down:
We strongly recommend that you perform a bounce-down to an empty track before Punching-In
on any Audio Track that has had Audio Track commands performed on it. This prevents any
confusion that could result from punching in on an Audio Track that contains multiple Audio
Trigger Events that trigger the same AudioSample. Be aware that this will probably increase the
memory used by AudioSamples. See punch-in rules above.
To monitor Audio Tracks without re-recording their playback during bounce-down, set the
Edit/(audio) Track, OUT value(s) to AUX1/2/3. With this setup, the Audio Track playback will
not be re-recorded, but any ASR-10 voices routed to BUS1/2/3 will be recorded.
Remember to mute any Sequence Tracks (on the Edit/(seq) Track Status page) that you don’t
want bounced down to the Audio Tracks.
When REC SRC=MAIN-OUT, the MAIN-OUT audio will be recorded post-Volume Slider. For
the optimal signal-to-noise ratio, the Volume Slider should be at maximum when recording the
MAIN-OUT.
Tip:
To quickly record global volume changes on both Audio Tracks simultaneously (and any other
voices routed to BUS 1/2/3), adjust the Volume Slider while recording a bounce-down. These
volume changes will be permanent.
