TO BOUNCE RECORDED TRACKS DOWN
TO ONE OR TWO TRACKS
From the screen:
1. Select Fader Bank 2 by clicking on the
TAPE button next to the Master Fader.
2. Turn off the L-R assignments for chan-
nels 25–30 (tracks 1–6 returns). Turn
off the L-R assignments for any other
channels you don't want to monitor
while bouncing down.
3. Click and hold on the "1" button at the
top of channel 1. Sweep across to
channel 6 to assign channels 1–6 to
Bus 1.
4. Click and hold on the "2" button at the
top of channel 6. Sweep across to
channel 1 to assign channels 1–6 to
Bus 2.
5. Click on the MASTERS button next
to the Master Fader to select Fader
Bank 4.
6. Click and hold on the OUT box at the
top of BUS 1 (channel 89). Drag down
to channel 7 to assign Bus 1 to channel
7 tape out.
7. Click and hold on the OUT box at the
top of BUS 2 (channel 90). Drag down
to channel 8 to assign Bus 2 to channel
8 tape out.
Channels 25–30 are now assigned to
Bus 1 and 2, and Bus 1 and 2 are assigned
to tape outs 7 and 8 respectively. Adjust the
V-Pot Pan controls on each channel to
achieve the proper left/right balance (If you
assign a channel to an odd/even pair of
buses, the channel pan control pans the
signal between the two buses). You can run
through a test mixdown to adjust the levels,
EQ, and effects for the submix. You can
even automate it.
Don't forget to click the REC/RDY but-
tons on channels 7 and 8 when you're
ready to record.
