3-6. Ping-pong recording
This section explains how to perform ping-pong recording.
Ping-pong recording enables you to combine multiple recorded tracks and copy
them to an empty track. You can then overdub additional sounds onto the
previously-recorded tracks, adding instrumentation or musical parts to your
recording.
Selecting a recording track
1 . Press the RECORD TRACK select keys 9 and 10 to "READY" Tracks 9 and 10.
Level adjustment/Rehearsal
2 . Press the RECORD button once. (The RECORD LED will blink.)
Tracks 9 and 10 enter input monitoring status.
3 . Press the PLAY button to start playback.
Use the mixer to send the signal in Tracks 1-6 to Tracks 9 and 10 and adjust the recording
level.
4 . After rehearsal is complete, locate the beginning of the program (ABS 0).
Actual ping-pong recording
5 . Press the RECORD button while pressing and holding down the PLAY button to start
ping-pong recording.
* In this example, we are going to ping-pong Tracks 1 through 6 to Tracks 9 and 10.
Since effects cannot be applied to each sound individually after ping-pong recording, we need
to apply effects here on the mixer and record the effect sound to Tracks 9 and 10.
* Set the D-160 to the default setting.
* Check the Program selection and the sampling rate setting. Do not change these settings until
this session is complete.
