Fostex VF160EX - Manual (Page 79)

79
Generally, “ mixdown ” means the process for mixing audio materials (instruments, vocals, etc.) recorded on a
multitrack recorder and recording the stereo-mixed signals to a master (digital or analog) recorder.
The internal mixdown mode , allows you to mix 16 internal tracks recorded on a program down to stereo signals and
record them to the current drive of the unit.
By using the internal mixdown function, you can make mixdown without the need for an external master re-
corder.
Furthermore, you can record an internally mixed material to a CD-RW/CD-R disc to make an audio CD.
See page 125 for details.
After executing mixdown, a new program on which a mixed-down material is saved is automatically created
on the current drive. The program number of this program is set to one greater than the current greatest
program number.
For example, if there are 8 programs (P01 through 08) on the current drive, by mixing down a desired
program data, a new program (P09) is automatically created and the mixed-down stereo signals are re-
corded on tracks 1 and 2 of P09.
Note that if the unit is under either of the following conditions, you cannot carry out internal mixdown.
1. There are 99 programs already existed on the current drive even though there is enough recording
space.
If you try to carry out internal mixdown, “ Can’t New PGM! ” is shown and the operation is ignored.
To carry out mixdown, delete an unnecessary program.
2. There is not enough recording space even though there are less than 99 programs on the current drive.
If you try to carry out internal mixdown, “ Over time! ” is shown and the operation is ignored.
To carry out mixdown, erase unnecessary song data or delete an unnecessary program.
<Please read this first before executing mixdown!>
