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-1680, 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 1-14 to Tracks 15 and 16:
1.
Press the TRACK 15/16 SELECT button.
2.
Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to highlight the
Link icon, and then use the TIME/VALUE dial to select
“ON.”
3.
Hold the Track 15/16 STATUS button and press
[CLEAR].
4.
Hold the Track 15/16 STATUS button and press the
Track 1-14 SELECT buttons consecutively so that they
are flashing.
5.
Press the Track 15/16 STATUS button until it is set to
Source mode (orange). Press the STATUS buttons for
Tracks 1-14 until they are set to Play mode (green).
6.
Press [PLAY] and adjust the level and pan settings for
Tracks 1-14 as desired. Press [STOP] when you are
finished.
7.
Press the Track 15/16 STATUS button until it is set to
Record Ready mode (flashing red).
8.
Reset your song to the beginning and press [REC]
followed by [PLAY].
9.
Press [STOP] when your song is finished playing. Now,
Tracks 15 and 16 contain a stereo mix of Tracks 1-14.
10.
Reset your song to the beginning, turn off Tracks 1-14,
and press [PLAY] to hear the results. Make sure that the
EQ switch and all effects sends for Tracks 15 and 16 are
turned off. This will ensure that the “bounced” version of
Tracks 1-14 sounds the same as the original.
