In this example, we will "bounce'’ or combine material from tracks 1-4 onto
empty track 8.
1. Connect outputs 1-4 of the DA-88 to inputs 1-4 of your mixer, and connect
group out 1 of the mixer to input 8 of the DA-88.
2. Set the mixer controls as required (assign channels 1-4 to group out 1, bring up
the group 1 monitor level control, etc).
3. Press the REC FUNCTION switch for track 8 to put this into Ready mode. All
other tracks should be in Safe mode.
4. Locate the tape to the beginning of the selection, then press PLAY.
5. Slowly increase the group 1 fader until meter 8 peaks at 0 dB. Use the channel
faders (and EQ controls) to set each track's relative level for the desired balance.
6. When the record level setting is complete, rewind the tape back to the
beginning of the selection.
7. Hold RECORD and press PLAY. Tracks 1-4 will be mixed into track 8.
8. At the end of the selection, press STOP, and rewind the tape to the beginning
of the recording just done.
9. Put track 8 into Safe mode by pressing its REC FUNCTION switch again, then
press PLAY to audition the mix on track 8. If track 8 does hot sound right,
make the necessary corrections and redo from the beginning.
Repeat bouncing :
Once you are totally satisfied with the mix on track 8, you can record new material
on tracks 1-4, then bounce them onto track 7 or any other empty track the same
way you bounced onto track 8.
