Putting Multiple Tracks Together (Bounce)
Although the BR-900CD allows the simultaneous playback of
eight tracks, when you run out of tracks, the BR-900CD also
lets you copy the recordings of multiple tracks together onto
one track (V-Track). This is called “bounce” (also known as
bounce recording or ping-pong recording). By combining
multiple tracks in this way, you can free up other tracks in
order to record additional performances. The explanation below uses an example of mixing the
monaural recording on tracks 1 and 2 and the stereo
recording on tracks 3 and 4, and bouncing them to V-Track 2
of tracks 3 and 4.
1. Set the pan for tracks 1 and 2 to the locations you
desire, set the pan for track 3 all the way to the left
(L50), and the pan for track 4 all the way to the right
(R50).
“Setting the positioning (pan) of the sound” (p. 42)
2. Play back the song and adjust the volumes for the
tracks 1 to 4 using the REC TRACK faders.
The overall volume is adjusted by the MASTER fader. At
this time, raise the volume as high as possible without
allowing the sound to distort.
Lower the faders for the tracks that you do not want to
mix.
* When using bounce recording, you can record the sounds with
insert effects (p. 84), loop effects (p. 108), Track EQ (p. 110),
or Pitch Correction (p. 114) applied. When using the insert
effects, refer to “Changing How the Insert Effects are Used
According to the Mode” (p. 87).
3. Press [STOP].
4. Press [REC MODE] repeatedly until “BOUNCE” is
indicated for REC MODE at the left of the screen.
The INPUT SELECT indicator goes out, and the input
source is automatically muted. This prevents the input
source from being mixed in and recorded during bounce
recording.
* If you wish to mix an input source as part of the bounce
recording, press [INPUT SELECT] to select the desired input
source. At this time, you can apply loop effects (p. 108) to the
sound of the input source.
5. If you want to mix in the sound of the Rhythm as well,
increase the Rhythm fader.
If you do not want to record the Rhythm, lower the
fader.
In bounce mode, you can play back eight tracks
simultaneously and record them all to a single, separate
V-Track.
When input sources are selected with INPUT SELECT,
you can have those sounds recorded together.
Furthermore, you can include the sounds from the
Rhythm in the recording.
