Bouncing Tracts

[SMITHKI]

well its me again with another question that i cant seem to get out of the manual unless i'm not looking in the right place.my question is this.say i bounce strips 1-6 to 7&8 and then record new parts on 1-6.lets say that a guitar part in the original first 6 strips that i bounced to 7&8 needs some tweeking is there a way of getting one of those channel back or do all 6 become locked into wherever you set them when you did the bounce.if you can help me here it would be much appreciated.

SMITHKI,

Remember, you have 250 virtual tracks on each song.

After you bounce tracks 1-6 to 7/8. Pull up 6 new tracks on channels 1-6 and record on them. That way you have the ORIGINAL 6 tracks and can go back and tweek the guitar part by doing another bounce.

PRESS and release the TRACK button.

This'll show the 8 channel strips across the top, now scroll down and you can see the available tracks you can record on.

To pull up a new virtual track, highlight the TRACK # you want and hit ENTER/YES. (that moves the little check-mark to the highlighted track)

BEWARE- when you scroll down the list of tracks (say you're looking at channel 1) and you decide you want to look at available tracks on channel 2. When you arrow over to channel two what ever track was highlighted on channel one becomes the used virtual track on channel 1. (without hitting ENTER/YES)

Hope this helps

The channels are the channels, 1-8. The tracks are never locked into place but can be moved at any time.

This is where "SCENES" come in helpful. After you set up everything for your first six tracks, just before or after you make your bounce, name and save a scene of this set-up. You can create 10 scenes. Do the same with your next set-up. Now, whenever you want, you can call up that scene and all your tracks will pop into place, as well as vol., eq, efx, etc.. Make your changes and re-save the SCENE, it will now remember the new changes. Now re-bounce 1-6 to 7/8. With all the tracks available you could make a number of different mixes and save them all if you like. Just remember that saving a lot of tracks can develop cumbersome files at some point.

thanks again for your help,i wish i had you guys for a day in person i then would'nt have to ask all of these probably simplistic questions.well i guess im just a slow learner with these technical things.i do much better writting and playing my music than recording it but i suppose i will eventually learn by doing more.
thanks again for your support
