For this example, Tracks 5-8 are called the “source tracks.”
Tracks 9/10 are called the “destination tracks.”
* Make all panning, level, EQ and effect settings on the source
tracks before doing the bounce. Once source tracks have been
bounced to the destination tracks, you cannot make individual
mixer settings for each source track without bouncing those
tracks again. Also, make sure that the EQ and effects are
turned off on Channels 9/10. Otherwise, the bounced tracks
will sound different than the source tracks.
* It is not possible to do track bouncing on songs saved with
Song Protect On. If you want to do track bouncing, you must
turn Song Protect Off first.
Selecting Source Tracks and
Destination Tracks
1.
Hold [STOP], and press the STATUS buttons for source
Tracks 5-8. The STATUS buttons light green.
2.
Press the STATUS button for the destination Track 9/10
so it is lit orange.
3.
Hold the STATUS button for Track 9/10 and press the
SELECT buttons for the source Tracks 5–8 so that they
blink.
4.
Normally, Inputs 1 and 2 are assigned to Track 9/10. If
this is the case, the SELECT buttons for Input 1 and Input
2 will be blinking. While continuing to hold the STATUS
button for Track 9/10, press the SELECT button for Input
1 and Input 2. The SELECT buttons will stop blinking.
5.
The source Tracks 5-8 can now be monitored on Channel
9/10.
If you have done a lot of routing, the Input Assign screen can
become a bit cluttered. You can clear all existing routing
assignments and start from scratch by holding one of the
[STATUS] buttons and pressing [CLEAR].
