MIX DOWN
When MIX DOWN is selected, the following assign-
ment is set up:
In this assignment pattern, all eight recorded tracks
are assigned to the correspondingly-numbered chan-
nels, ready for mixdown.
TIP
If you are adding MIDI-synchronized instruments to the
final mix, you can assign inputs A through D and the AUX
INPUTS to the software sub-mixer (“Assigning inputs to
the sub-mixer” on page 37). This provides you with a total
of 14 signal sources (in addition to the internal effect
returns).
BOUNCE 7/8
This allows you to take six recorded tracks and mix
them into the two tracks of the
STEREO bus, which
are then recorded on 7 and 8:
Channels 1 through 6 are fed from tracks 1 through 6
and passed to the
STEREO bus.
The STEREO signals, in their turn, are passed to
channels 7 and 8, which will record on tracks 7 and
8.
The individual levels, etc. of the recorded tracks are
adjusted using the channel controls, and the overall
level of the mixed signal is adjusted using the faders
of the destination tracks (in this example, the
7/8
fader). It is also possible to add a pre-fader compres-
sor to the
STEREO bus before the signal is passed to
channels 7 and 8 (“Using EFFECT 2 as a stereo
dynamics processor” on page 82). Care should be
taken when using insert dynamics processors in this
situation.
NOTE
Although it is possible to use both the stereo dynamics and
channel dynamics processors at the same time, this is not
recommended.
TIP
This shows tracks 7 and 8 used as the destination for the
“bounce”. Of course, any other pair of tracks can be used
(but it is not possible to bounce tracks to themselves).
