Bouncing tracks
Use this unit’s bounce function to mix already
recorded tracks (1–8) down to one or two
tracks.
Multitrack tape recorders can only bounce
to an open track (in other words, they can
not record to a track that is also a source of
the mix). For example, tracks 1–7 could be
bounced to track 8, but tracks 1–8 could not be
bounced to track 1. This unit, however, does
not have this limitation. You can bounce tracks
1–8 to mix down to tracks 1 and 2 (stereo
bounce), or bounce tracks 1–8 as a mono mix
to track 1 (mono bounce).

Inside this unit, a mixdown is made to create
a mix master that is recorded to the desig-
