Advanced Operation

Track bounce (Ping-pong recording)

When the number of empty tracks is short in the recording process, you can solve the problem by transferring

audio on the multiple already-recorded tracks to a different track or tracks.

This operation is called "Track bounce" or "Ping-pong recording". With the VF08, you can do this operation sim-

ply by using the [BOUNCE MODE] key.

When the Bounce mode is active, Tracks 7/8 are automatically armed and the materials recorded on Tracks 1

through 6 are ready to be bounced to Tracks 7/8.

In the following description for track bouncing operation, we assume that mono materials are recorded on Tracks

1 through 4, while a stereo material is recorded on Tracks 5 and 6.

On/off of bounce mode

Press the [BOUNCE MODE] key.

Each press of the key alternates "On" and "Off."

When set to "On", the key is illuminated, while the

Bounce screen appears where "Remain" is displayed.

Tracks 7/8 are automatically armed and the corre-

sponding [TRACK STATUS/TRACK SEL] key flashes in

red.

When the Bounce mode is active, you cannot arm the

other tracks (1 through 6).

Setting pan positions

Press the [PAN] key to set the pan position for each

track.

Set the pan positions at the desired points for Tracks 1

through 4, fully left for Track 5 and fully right for Track

6. See "Mixer Functions" for details about the pan set-

ting.

After setting all pan positions, press the [EXIT/NO] key.

The balance mode screen appears.

Setting level of each track

Set the [MASTER] fader to the "0" position.

Press the [RECORD] key only.

The [RECORD] key starts flashing, while Tracks 7/8

enter the input monitor mode.

Press the [PLAY] key to start playback and adjust play-

back levels of Tracks 1 through 6 using the track fad-

ers.

Be careful not to light up the peak indicator when ad-

justing the playback level of each track.

<Note>

If the peak indicator lights up, the recorded sound

will be distorted. Adjust the playback level of each

track appropriately.

You can see the playback levels on Tracks 1 through 6,

input levels on Track 7/8 and output levels of the Ste-

reo busses (L and R) via the meters on the screen.

By raising the [PHONES] knob, you can monitor the

sound.

After adjusting the levels, stop the recorder and then

locate the beginning position of track bouncing.

Performing the track bounce

Press the [PLAY] key while holding down the

[RECORD] key to start track bouncing.

The recorder starts recording of mixed audio from

Tracks 1 through 6 to Tracks 7/8.

After finishing the track bounce, press the [STOP] key

to stop the recorder.

Now you can use Tracks 1 through 6 to record

new materials.

<Note>

You can also apply EQ and/or effects to audio signals on

Tracks 1 through 6 to be bounce to Track 7/8.

See "Mixer Function" for details about how to apply EQ

and effects.
