Combining The Performances Of Multiple Audio Tracks-Bounce Recording; Bounce Recording Procedure - Roland DiscLab CDX-1 Owner's Manual

Combining the performances of multiple
audio tracks—Bounce Recording
Depending on the number of instruments that you wish to record, eight audio tracks
may not be sufficient. In such cases, you can combine performances that were
recorded on multiple audio tracks, and re-record them onto another track. This
process is called bounce recording. By combining multiple performances in this
way, you can free up other audio tracks in order to record additional performances.

Playback/recording audio tracks for bounce recording
Each track can either play back or record. For example if you are bouncing to two tracks
in stereo, you will be able to play back the tracks that are not recording destinations;
i.e., you will be able to play back six tracks simultaneou during bounce recording.

Bounce recording procedure

Here we will explain an example of how mono performances recorded on audio
tracks 1 and 2 can be mixed with the stereo performance recorded on audio tracks
3-4, and bounce-recorded on audio tracks 7-8.

Once performances have been
bounce-recorded to an audio
track, it will no longer be
possible to adjust the volume,
pan, or equalization of a
specific instrument or vocal. If
you need to keep the option of
individually adjusting pan,
equalization, etc., of an audio
track, you should not combine
it with other tracks by bounce-
recording.
