III. PING-PONG RECORDING
What does "ping-pong recording" mean?
‘Ping-pong recording” is the process of mixnc and recorc-
ing tracks onto somo other completely new :rack(s). This
transferring of traci<s can be Cbno nary tmc3 and thj3. Ihe
gong back and forth of the recording tracks is where its
name comes from. The merits d a ping-pong recording lie
h tie fact that the "liberated" tracks car now be used to¬
other purposes, such as <*erdubbinc.
Lock at Figure 3. i his is the conligu'ation tor mixing the pre¬
recorded TRACKS 1 ~6 in the previous examples and png-
pong recording tlxeiri to TRACKS 7 and 8. Reese note that,
because :he recorded TRACKS 7 and 8 can no: be individu¬
ally processed for effects during the mxirg-down stage, the
effects are processed or thG source TRACKS 1 -6 and rout¬
ed almg with the nrigiral signal? to TRACKS 7 and 8.
Firs. Ihe original signals from TRACKS 1-6 d the R8
records are sent through the INPUT FADERS (15) to
GROUP busses 7 and 8 (INPUT SELECTOR (3)-TAPE,
ASSIGN SWITCHES (!1)-7-8) The signals wll be sent to the
GROUP OUT jacks 7/L and m (46) Via GHOUP MASIbH
FADERS 7/L, 8.R (17) and recorded to TRACKS 7 ano 8. we
will monitor the outputted signab to TRACKS 7 and 8 by
sending the R6 recorde' output to chenrels 7 and 0 to the
AUX buss (AUX SELECTOR (8)—TAPE). After odjustirg with
I
AUX GAIN (9) w$ will route ihe signals to LEFT and RIGHT
with me AUX D AN kneos oi channels / and 8, respectivey.
Finally, after an level aejustment with the AUX MASTER LEV¬
EL knob (23), the signals are now ready to be monitored 4
(MONITOR SELECTOR (25)- AUX) with either the MON ICR
LFVFI knob .26. <y th© PHONES VOLUME <nob (27).
For effect processing done on individual channels we will
use the D.OUT jack i39; to send the signal to the processors)
and he route the processor output to the INPUT jacks (35)
or (36) of channels 7-12. From here, wo will then send
the signals to GROUP busses 7 and 8 (INPUT SELECTOR
(3)—INPUT INPUT ASSIGN SWITCHES (1l)-7-8) with the
respective oerspectve to be determined with the PAN pot
( 12 ).
Fq- common effects processmg with channels 1 -G, EFFECT
SENDS 1 one 2 wit bo used. n this example, both wil be
used to send signas to a reverberator. EFFECT SEND 1/2
wil send the signal to reverberator # 1/2 2 which will then
return it to the EFFECT RETURN 1/2 SECTION (?8)<29)
From here. Ihe sgnal will be distributed to GROUP busses
7 and 8 for ojtput. *
Note: hor this example. DO NOT set the SEND 2 SELECTOR
for enamels 7 and 3 to AUX. nor the input SELECTOR :o a
TA D E since this wil create an nfimte loop and may cause
feedback.
