Ping-Pong Record - Fostex VF160EX Operation Manual

Ping-Pong RECORD

By using BUSS RECORD, it is possible to select a maximum of 15 source channels when recording to 1 track and a
maximum of 14 source channels when recording to 2 tracks. Here we will ping-pong record the sound recorded on
tracks 1-14 onto tracks 15 and 16 for temporary mix down. Ping-pong RECORD refers to the process in which the
sound of several tracks are mixed and then recorded on another track.
