Bouncing Directly To A Cd-R/Rw Disc - Boss BR-1200CD Owner's Manual

6. Press [ZERO], then press [PLAY].
The audio data bounced to Track 11/12 will now be
played back.
7. If you wish to store the track recorded by bouncing,
save the current song (p. 70).
This process of adjusting the tone and balance for each
track, and of then recording these to a single stereo track
is referred to as a Mix Down.
• If you turn off the BR-1200CD without saving the
current song, the track recorded by bouncing will be
lost. It is important, therefore, that you save your
songs regularly. Furthermore, if you intend to create
an audio CD later on, you must save the bounced
mix-down track at this time.
• If audio data already exists on the track selected for
bouncing, this data will be overwritten during the
bouncing process. If you want to prevent the data
from being overwritten in this way, you should
ensure during recording and overdubbing that an
empty track is reserved for bouncing. Note that even
if you accidentally overwrite audio data as a result
of bouncing, you can use Undo to restore the data
and cancel the bounce. "Undo" (p. 81)
• After bouncing has been completed, a period of 1 or
2 seconds may elapse before you can carry out the
next operation.
• If you want to bounce an instrument being played
live together with playback from previously
recorded tracks, press the appropriate INPUT
SELECT button. This button will light up and
muting of the input sources will be canceled. You
will now be able to record the instrument in
combination with the playback tracks during the
bounce process.
• Although the previous sections described a mix
down in terms of bouncing within the BR-1200CD
itself, you can also mix down to an external
recording device as mentioned above. To do this,
simply connect the BR-1200CD's LINE OUT to the
recording device, start recording on that device, and
then start playback on the BR-1200CD. Note that
there is no need to set REC MODE to BOUNCE at
this time and it is quite acceptable to leave it at
INPUT.
Mixing audio from various tracks onto a stereo track (Bounce)

Bouncing directly to a CD-R/RW disc

With the BR-1200CD, you can bounce data directly to a CD-
R/RW disc instead of the audio tracks. This is a convenient
way to keep a copy of song sketches after recording them.
Due to differences in the characteristics of CDR-/RW
discs, there is no way to ensure 100% error-free writing.
For this reason, the bouncing may be discontinued if an
error occurs in writing to the CD-R/RW disc. Never use
this feature with your important recordings.
1. Prepare a blank CD-R/RW disk or a CD-R/RW disk to
which data has been written using Track-At-Once (p.
219) on the BR-1200CD, but that is not yet finalized (p.
225).
2. Place the CD-R/RW disc in the tray.
The CD-R/RW drive's indicator begins flashing.
Wait until the indicator stops flashing.
3. Press [REC MODE] a number of times until the
BOUNCE indicator lights.
The BR-1200CD is switched to BOUNCE mode, and the
cursor moves to the location corresponding to the
bounce-destination track.
4. Turn the TIME/VALUE dial counterclockwise to select
"CD-R/RW."
5. Press [REC].
The CD-R/RW drive's motor begins spinning.
"Now checking..." appears in the display, followed by
"Create Track..." About ten seconds later, "Complete!"
appears in the display, indicating that preparations for
bouncing are complete.
• In contrast to normal recording, you cannot press [REC]
(manual punch in) after first pressing [PLAY].
• The moment [REC] is pressed, a region with a minimum
of one song is created on the disc. Note that even if you
press [STOP] at this point without bouncing any tracks,
the song cannot be deleted.
6. Press [PLAY].
[PLAY] and [REC] light, and bouncing to the CD-R/RW
disc begins.
The sounds are written to the CD-R/RW disc exactly as
they are played back.
7. Press [STOP] when you reach the end of the song.
"Close Track..." appears in the display. Bouncing of the
tracks is complete when "Complete!" appears.
