Mixdown and bounce operations
This chapter explains mixdown operations, in which you mix previ-
ously-recorded tracks and record the result on the stereo track. This
chapter also explains how you can use bounce (ping-pong) recording
to combine multiple tracks to one or two tracks.
About mixdown and bouncing
“Mixdown” is the process by which the signals recorded
on the recorder tracks are mixed to stereo, and recorded
on the internal stereo track to complete the song. The
contents of the stereo track can be used without further
processing as material to create an audio CD.
The diagram below shows the signal flow during mix-
down. The playback of each track is sent to the stereo
bus, passes through the stereo output channel, and is
recorded on the stereo track. At this time you also add
the signals from pad channels 1–4 and input channels 1–
8.
