Combining multiple tracks on one
file (bounce function)
"Bounce" is a function that mixes the sound from
tracks 1 – 4 and outputs it to a single file (stereo
or mono). This allows you to record parts such as
vocals, guitar, backing etc. separately and then
use these elements to create a stereo file. By
assigning the resulting file to a stereo track, you
can free up the other tracks for further recording
of more instruments or parts.
The bounce range extends from the beginning of
the recording to the end of the track. It is not
possible to bounce only part of a recording.
The illustration below shows an example for
bouncing 4 tracks onto a stereo file.
