Mixing Down; Stereo Mix Export Function - Tascam Model 24 Mode D'emploi

7 – Track editing

Mixing down

A mixdown is when the volume, panning and other settings of
individual track recordings are adjusted and combined into a
well-balanced stereo mix.
The MAIN MIX L/R bus does not have a REC button, but it is
always in recording standby. Pressing the 0 button always
records the signals on this bus.
By mixing down with the desired adjustments after recording,
stereo mix files can be created from the track audio recorded on
each channel.
1.
Adjust the recorded sound and play it back.
o Set the MODE switches of the recorded tracks to" MTR".
o Turn on the MAIN switches of the recorded tracks. (Turn
off the MAIN switches of unrecorded tracks.)
o While using speakers or headphones, for example, to lis-
ten to the sounds of all the recorded tracks being output
from the MAIN OUTPUT jacks, adjust the channel faders
and EQ and PAN knobs.
After confirming, stop playback at the beginning of the
song.
2.
Mix down the playback sound.
o With the REC buttons off (unlit) on each channel, press
the 0 button to create a stereo mix from the playback
sounds of all the recorded tracks.
o During mixdown, all fader and EQ and PAN knob adjust-
ments will be recorded from the time that the 0 button is
pressed and track playback is started until the 8 button is
pressed to stop playback.
This will overwrite the existing stereo file.

Stereo mix export function

MAIN MIX L/R bus recording files (mono) can be converted to a
single stereo file.
Converted stereo files are saved in the "MUSIC" folder.
Saved files are named according to the song name. For example,
the file name will be "181228_0002_2-MIX_01.wav" if the song
name is "181228_0002".
If the size of the converted file would exceed 2 GB, multiple files
will be created with numbers like "02" and "03" at their ends.
