Bouncing34 TASCAM DP-01 Owner’s ManualAdvanced techniquesBouncingYou can bounce toone track, if youwant, but you will probably want tobounce in stereo.“Bouncing” on the DP-01 refers to the technique of mixing recordedtracks through the MASTER fader to a pair of unused tracks.You might use a track bounce operation in the following situation:You’ve recorded the drums in stereo, the bass and two rhythm guitars (oneacoustic and one electric) and an electric guitar lead line. There are twotracks left. You’d like some stereo organ added in, and there are two leadvocal lines to record, as well as at least one set of backing vocals. But thereare only two tracks left!Luckily, you can bounce everything through the stereo tracks, and recordthem onto the two spare tracks.You may want tocopy the song andgive it another name (see “Copyingsongs” on page 42) before startingthe bounce, so that you can goback to the original if necessary.1 “Un-arm” (safe) the existing tracks so that you don’t accidentallyrecord over them.2 Press the BOUNCE key (above the MASTER fader) so that it lights.3 Arm the two tracks which you are mixing to.4 Use the faders and mixer controls of the tracks you’re bouncing to cre-ate a stereo mix.5 Adjust the overall level of the mix using the MASTER fader. Watch theL and R meters on the right side of the display so that the level isadjusted to the optimum level. During this step, mute the tracks at thebounce destination.6 When you’re ready, use PLAY and RECORD to record the mix onto thetwo armed tracks from start to end, with no stops. “Safe” the armedtracks.You can also useauto punch record-ing (“Punching” on page 32) tobounce only part of a song betweenthe IN and OUT points.z You can now record over the original tracks you bounced, playingalong to the stereo pair created from the bounce.Figure 2.2: Bouncing tracks1 Drums L2 Drums R3 Bass4 Acoustic Guitar5 E.
