HINT
• "Bounce" means combining audio data from
several tracks and files together into one stereo
or monaural file. This is also called "ping-pong
recording."
.
• To also record the signal of the track(s) that the
bounce is being recorded to, set "REC TRACK"
to "Play" in the BOUNCE Menu as described at
Step 4.
• Once the bounce is executed, a new file will be
created in the same project.
• If you set the bounce destination to a monaural
track, the recorded signals are mixed to
monaural. If set to a stereo link track pair, the
recorded signals are mixed to stereo.
