14—Working with Track Channels
The VS-2400CD’s track channels control the sound of its hard disk recorder’s tracks.
When you’re recording a track, you listen to its source signal through the
corresponding track channel to ensure you’re hearing what the hard disk recorder is
capturing. When you play back a track, you play it through its track channel.
To learn how to:
• select a V-Track for playback, see Page 119 and Page 147.
• shape a track’s sound, see Chapter 11, starting on Page 145.
• add effects to the track’s sound, see Page 207.
In this chapter, we’ll discuss a few things you might want to do with recorded tracks.
We’ll discuss bouncing. We’ll explain how to route a track channel to a Direct path.
We’ll also provide some guidance on how to prepare your recorded tracks for a final
mix.
Bouncing
“Bouncing” is the process of submixing
one or more already recorded tracks and
recording that submix onto a new track or
a new pair of tracks. There are many
reasons to bounce:
• You bounce when you record your final mix onto your mastering tracks (Page 332).
• You might want to combine a group of related tracks—such as a large set of
individually recorded background vocals, or a couple of instruments whose
textures you’re combining—so that you can work with them as a single object when
you create the final mix.
• You can make your available effects processing power go farther by bouncing tracks
with their intended effects. Once the tracks and effects have been bounced, you’ll
be free to use the effect processors for other jobs in the final mix.
• You might want to create an different-sounding version of a track.
• You can compile the best parts of multiple tracks into a single great one by
bouncing their best pieces together.
You might also want to send recorded tracks directly to the VS-2400CD outputs and on
to external devices. This topic is discussed on Page 274.
When you bounce, you copy the bounced tracks, so the original tracks remain safe and
sound unless you manually erase them. You can return to the original tracks if you need
to do the bounce again or to do some editing or re-recording of the original material.
Though we refer to “bouncing
tracks
” for simplicity’s sake, what you’re really doing
when you bounce is bouncing V-Tracks.
While the following sections describe performing a single bounce, you can use the
same methods to perform multiple, separate bounces simultaneously to save time.
