Bouncing Tracks 1 Through 8 To A New Song; Rehearsal Of Track Bouncing - Fostex MR-8MKII Owner's Manual

MR-8mkII Owner's Manual (Track bouncing)

Bouncing tracks 1 through 8 to a new song

You can bounce tracks 1 through 8 to tracks 7/8 of a new song. A new song is automatically
created when executing track bouncing (<Note>: In the "1-8 > NEW SONG" mode, you cannot bounce
the desired part of a song by using the track bouncing and auto punch in/out functions together).
Before executing track bouncing, you can rehearse it. While rehearsing track bouncing, you can
control the playback level, panning and reverb (or delay) send setting of each source track, as
well as apply the mastering effect to the mixed L/R signals. We recommend to make rehearsal
thoroughly until you are satisfied with the sound. The following assumes that the song you are
going to execute track bouncing is loaded.
