Confirming the result
Raise the bounce destination TRACK LEVEL knob
(turn other TRACK LEVEL knobs all the way down)
and the MASTER LEVEL knob, and start playback
from the beginning of the song. If you are not
satisfied with the result because, for example, the
balance between instruments is poor, or the pan
settings are wrong, use the undo function. (See
“Undoing operations (undo)” on page 49.)

recorder is stopped press the BOUNCE/MIXDOWN/
MASTERING button to open the

screen and select

tracks at some later time, back-up the track data to
a computer or copy the song before bouncing(See
“Copying songs” on page 40.) (See “Connecting
