Boss BR-1600CD Basic Operation Gude page 55

Mixing audio from various tracks onto a stereo track (Mix Down)
5
To check the track recorded by
bouncing, lower all faders except the
one for Track 9/10, and move the fader
for Track 9/10 to a position that gives a
suitable playback volume.
6
Press [ZERO], then press [PLAY].
The audio data bounced to Track 9/10 will now be
played back.
• If you turn off the BR-1600CD without saving the current song, the track recorded by bouncing will be lost. It is
important, therefore, that you save your songs regularly. Furthermore, if you intend to create an audio CD later on,
you must save the bounced mix-down track at this time.
• If audio data already exists on the track selected for bouncing, this data will be overwritten during the bouncing
process. If you want to prevent the data from being overwritten in this way, you should ensure during recording and
overdubbing that an empty track is reserved for bouncing. Note that even if you accidentally overwrite audio data as a
result of bouncing, you can use Undo to restore the data and cancel the bounce. "Undo" (p. 42)
• After bouncing has been completed, a period of 1 or 2 seconds may elapse before you can carry out the next operation.
• If you want to bounce an instrument being played live together with playback from previously recorded tracks, press
the appropriate INPUT SELECT button. This button will light up and muting of the input sources will be canceled.
You will now be able to record the instrument in combination with the playback tracks during the bounce process.
• Although the previous sections described a mix down in terms of bouncing within the BR-1600CD itself, you can also
mix down to an external recording device as mentioned above. To do this, simply connect the BR-1600CD's LINE OUT
to the recording device, start recording on that device, and then start playback on the BR-1600CD. Note that there is no
need to set REC MODE to BOUNCE at this time and it is quite acceptable to leave it at INPUT.

If you wish to store the track recorded by
bouncing, save the current song (p. 56).
This process of adjusting the tone and balance for
each track, and of then recording these to a single
stereo track is referred to as a Mix Down.
