Ping-Pong Recording - Fostex D-160 Owner's Manual

3-6. Ping-pong recording

This section explains how to perform ping-pong recording.
Ping-pong recording enables you to combine multiple recorded tracks and copy
them to an empty track. You can then overdub additional sounds onto the
previously-recorded tracks, adding instrumentation or musical parts to your
recording.
* In this example, we are going to ping-pong Tracks 1 through 6 to Tracks 9 and 10.
Since effects cannot be applied to each sound individually after ping-pong recording, we need
to apply effects here on the mixer and record the effect sound to Tracks 9 and 10.
* Set the D-160 to the default setting.
* Check the Program selection and the sampling rate setting. Do not change these settings until
this session is complete.
