When I record in stereo to tracks 15-16 on Fostex Vf160 and then try to copy them to one track it wont let me.

Is there a way to record in stereo to 2 tracks (direct in recording guitar to effects processor into mixer) then bounce to one track while retaining a stereo image.

Also what is difference between copying and pasting from track to track or bouncing form track to track..

Also What is best technique to use to make sure all tracks are synchronized perfectly> ie all perfectly in time with each other)

Thanks everyone

No can do on any system unless their format/nomenclature equates 1 track with a stereo pair. I know of nothing that does this.

Copy and Paste gives you a direct copy of one track to another. Bouncing allows mixing of a number of tracks, often through echo or other enhancer, to two tracks for a stereo output to computer or CD.

By definition all the tracks run together so they should be in sequence anyway.

Since you have a mixer you could do Track-multing and even then you don't have a proper/true stereo image, with the mixer you can split your drum track into 4 (providing you have enough cables) then add effects on 2 and combine them.. however this hasn't been done since the analog days (people use this technique to save channel room and to apply precise eq on certain instruments). Bus the two tracks to your PC for further editing.
 
A stereo image presumes a different signal for each ear, so you cannot get a stereo image from one signal on one track.

If you want to record two signals and mix them to one track, then record on two odd numbered tracks and bounce down to 15 of the 15/16 pair.

OR record on to, say, Track one and copy directly to Track two before bouncing down to 15/16.
