Ping-pong in stereo procedure

8. Press PLAY. The tape will start playing.
9. Use channel faders 1 through 4 to make any necessary level
adjustments. You may want to repeat this step several times to
get the balance correct
10. When the balance is right and the level is peaking at no more than
+6 on the TRACK 8 meter, stop and rewind the tape to the
beginning of the track.
11. Hold RECORD and press PLAY. The REC 8 indicator that was
blinking will turn on solid and track 8 will record a copy of what is
on tracks 1-4.
12. You'll hear the mix being recorded on track 8 in the headphones.
13. Once the recording is done, press STOP.
14. The REC 8 indicator will now be blinking as before. Turn that off
by pressing the RECORD FUNCTION switch for track 8.
It is also common to bounce six channels to two tracks (for example,
tracks 1-6 to 7 & 8) as a stereo pair.
1. Set all the channels' INPUT ASSIGN switches to the center/OFF
position.
2. Simply arrange the PAN controls for channels 1-6 as disired -
some left, some right, some in the middle.
3. Press the RECORD FUNCTION switch for both tracks 7 and 8.
4. Continue as the above example.
