Ping-Pong with Overdub
The ping-pong technique can be combined with overdub recording. This allows you to bounce
down tracks and record a new sound source simultaneously. In the following illustration, for
example, Tracks 1, 2, and 3 are bounced to Track 4 along with a new signal coming from Input
Channel 4.
down tracks and record a new sound source simultaneously. In the following illustration, for
example, Tracks 1, 2, and 3 are bounced to Track 4 along with a new signal coming from Input
Channel 4.
1. Connect a sound source to an unused input channel (i.e., one that’s not used
with an existing source track). Input channel 4 is used in the example above.
2. Set the GAIN control as appropriate.
3. On input channels 1, 2, and 3, set the [FLIP] switch to the down position.
4. On input channels 4 and 5, set the [FLIP] switch to the up position.
5. Set the fader to the 7–8 mark.
6. Use the ASSIGN switches and PAN control to assign the signal to the desti-
nation track.
7. Continue with Preparing for Ping-Pong on page 30.
During rehearsal, balance the level of the new source with the existing tracks.
