Put the tracks on your knee, and then move your knee up and down in a "bouncing" motion...that should do it.

do you have 4 tracks and then another track after that? If so then go into bounce mode (if there is one) and simply record the four tracks to the extra track. Push the extra track so it is the track to record to and simply push record and play!

bouncing
i just bounced the other dayon my digital yamaha 4-tr. i was a bit nervous from following the distructions too but it worked. it may be a good idea to make a backup before trying it. on mine i get all the level the way i want them because there's no going back once you bounce. I select two tracks to bounce to for the stereo factor and pan them out. Hit record. Since its digital it plays back the origanal 2 tracks as it layers the other 2 over. Its scary but the instuction don't lie.

Recording Modus Operandi
Let's say you have a 4 track tape recorder.
1. Record the drums on tracks 1, 2, 3. Play tracks 1, 2 & 3 back, recording them on track 4 while recording the bass at the same time. Listen to track 4 and if it sounds good then proceed. If not do a retake.
2. Next record the guitars on track 1 and 2. Listen to them and edit if needed. Play tracks 1 & 2 back, recording them on track 3 while recording another instrument like a harmonica, keyboards or a flute. Make sure you don't record over track 4 while you do this. Listen to tracks 3 and 4 and if they sound good then proceed. If not redo track 3. You should now have a mix of guitars+ on track 3 and drums and bass on track 4.
3. Record another instrument or a vocal on track 1. Listen to it and edit if needed. Play it back recording on track 2 while recording another instrument or vocal at the same time. Again listen, fix and or proceed.
4. Finally record track one with whatever instrument or vocal you have left, listen and edit. You can now mix the four tracks down to stereo for mastering.
This isn't an easy way to do recordings but if you monitor the volumes, pan, and use an equalizer properly to notch out ranges for different instruments you can produce a decent recording of 10 instruments onto a 4 track. You can use a limiter while recording but I'd save the compression for mastering. Of course you don't need to track the instruments as above. You can make your own arrangement of goatshead soup. G/L and have fun
