8) When you're ready to bounce the tracks, press

PLAY+RECORD. Keep in mind that if you make a

mistake in the mixdown, you can punch in on the

mixdown. For example, if you forget to bring down

the level of a loud vocal passage, you can rewind

back just before that passage, press record, and

make the change. You don't need to start over.

Since scenes can be recalled in the 788, the level of the

physical fader on the 788 may not match the level the

fader is being processed at.

This is also true if a sequencer

is used to automate the mixer

levels of the 788. The FADER

MATCHING preference chooses

from a number of different

behavior patterns to deal with

this situation:

- This overrides the scene fader level, and makes

the physical fader level the processed level at all times.

The positive side is you always know the processed level

of the fader. The bad news is you can't recall any levels

or utilize any MIDI level automation with this setting.

- This setting will have the processed fader level

automatically go to the physical level when the physical

fader is moved. While this makes the levels react faster

to your commands, it can mean some large jumps in

volume if the fader is all the way at the top, and the

processed level is at the bottom.

- Catch will not change the processed fader

level until the physical fader matches the processed

fader level. This is the most elegant, since the levels

won't jump all over the place when you bump a fader.

This allows you to make smoother adjustments to the

levels mid-mix. However, if you are not aware of the

processed fader levels, you might take a little while

finding them.

Bouncing tracks is the process of taking previously

recorded tracks on the recorder and mixing them down

to a stereo or mono mix. This process allows you to

add more tracks to the song by freeing up the individual

tracks from the other parts.

Since the 788 has 250 virtual tracks per song, you don't

have to give up the original tracks when you're bouncing

down. The original tracks can be kept in the virtual track

screen, in case you want to submix them again later,

change a part, or even take one part out all together.

To bounce tracks down in the 788, the stereo output

needs to be fed to a channel or channels. You might

think this would cause a feedback loop. However, the

channel's output will automatically become un-assigned

from the stereo buss when the stereo buss is assigned

to the channel's input.

While bouncing tracks, you'll probably want to monitor

the return from the recorder to make sure the level

isn't overloading the track level. The place to do that is

the TRACK CUE section. The other tracks should be

playing through the main mixer, so make sure that the

levels for the other tracks are down so the only tracks

you're hearing in the TRACK CUE mix are the tracks

you're recording.

To bounce the tracks:

1) Assign the source tracks to the mixer section.

2) Assign any other inputs you want bounced with the

tracks (ie drum machine, external effect unit, etc.)

to the input sub mixer.

3) Assign the stereo output to the target recording

tracks (press and hold STEREO, press SELECT on the

target track(s), then release STEREO).

4) Arm the target tracks by pressing REC READY.

5) Press CUE in the monitor section, to monitor the

return from the recorder.

6) Turn off any other sources by pressing SELECT in

the monitor section until none of the associated

LEDs light up. (This makes sure you are listening

only to the return from the multitrack, and that the

levels you are hearing are exactly what is being

recorded.

7) Play the music, and set up your mix. The track

levels on the recorder should indicate the level of the

input coming to the track. Make sure the level does

not overload the track
