Ping-Pong Notes
There are several things to be aware of when using the ping-pong technique.
•
Do not try and bounce a track to itself. That is, make sure that the destination track is not
one of the source tracks. Otherwise, an unpleasant oscillation noise may be produced.
•
Repeated ping-pong operations do affect the sound quality. Try to keep ping-pong opera-
tions to a minimum.
•
Avoid bouncing tracks to adjacent tracks on the same half of the
record–play head. It’s okay to bounce from Track 4 to Track 5
because they are on different halves of the head, as shown here.
The illustration below shows three ping-pong combinations to
avoid and three that are okay.
