Combining The Contents Of Tracks (Track Bouncing) - Roland VS-1680 Owner's Manual

* The 3-band (low, mid, high) equalizer can be used on
channel faders in only one mixer mode — either the Track
mixer or Input mixer — at a time. You cannot use the
equalizer in both mixers simultaneously on the same
channel. For example, if you are using the 3-band equaliz-
er on Track Channel 1, then you cannot use it on Input
Channel 1.
Combining the Contents of
Tracks (Track Bouncing)
You can mix the performances recorded on two or
more tracks and rerecord them onto a different empty
track. This operation is known as track bouncing. It is
a convenient technique to use when you have run out
of free tracks.
In this section, we will mix the performances recorded
on tracks 5–8, and rerecord the result in stereo on track
9/10.

Before Track Bouncing
* Volume, pan, equalizer, effects, and other settings cannot
be adjusted on tracks mixed with track bouncing. Do not
use track bouncing with tracks to which you want to
apply the equalizer and effects separately.

for Tracks 5–8.

Sw (Master Send Switch)
When this is set to "On," the source from each input
channel, rather than being assigned to the RECORD-
ING bus, is sent directly to the MIX bus. Set this to
"On" when, for example, you simply want to mix the
inputs without recording them. However, the sources
that are assigned to the RECORDING bus are dis-
abled.
Pan (Master Send Pan)
This adjusts the pan setting (L63–0–R63) of the signal
sent to the MIX bus or the RECORDING bus.
