Bouncing tracks
Use this unit's bounce function to mix already recorded tracks (1–8) down to one or two tracks.
Multitrack tape recorders can only bounce to an open track (in other words, they can not record to a track that
is also a source of the mix). For example, tracks 1–7 could be bounced to track 8, but tracks 1–8 could not be
bounced to track 1. This unit, however, does not have this limitation.
You can mix down tracks 1–8 as a stereo mix to tracks 1 and 2 (stereo bounce), or bounce tracks 1–8 as a mono
mix to track 1 (mono bounce).

Source tracks are erased when they are bounce destinations. (In the illustration above the drum parts are
overwritten by the stereo mix). However, you can use the unit's (undo) function to return to the previous state if
you make a mistake. (See "Undoing operations (undo)" on page 49.)
