Chapter 9
Mixdown and bounce operations
This chapter explains mixdown operations, in which you mix previously-
recorded tracks and record the result on the stereo track. This chapter also
covers “bouncing” or “ping-pong recording” of multiple tracks to a mono track
or stereo tracks, as well as operation of the Pitch Fix function to polish up a
vocal track.
“Mixdown” is the process by which the signals recorded on the recorder tracks are mixed to ste-
reo, 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.
