Chapter 7: Advanced Technique for Mixing

The DPS16 is designed for ease of operation from recording to mixdown, similar to a cassette multitrack recorder.

It also enables you to combine various functions for more advanced mixing operations. This chapter introduces

advanced techniques for mixing with the DPS16.

Assigning virtual tracks to physical tracks

The DPS16 provides 250 virtual tracks for sixteen physical tracks. You cannot directly control the virtual tracks,

but you can record, play, and edit them by assigning them to the physical tracks. For example, if you record each

take in several virtual tracks for overdubbing a given part, you can select the best take for mixdown later. This

section explains how to record multiple takes of a guitar solo while switching the virtual tracks assigned to

physical tracks.

1. Press the [V. TRACK] key.

The DPS16 enters V. Track mode where you can assign virtual tracks to physical tracks and displays the

following Assign Virtual Track screen.

1 Track

This field indicates a physical track number.

2 Virtual Track

This field indicates the number and name of the virtual track assigned to the physical track.

3 Virtual Track List

Lists virtual tracks. Unused virtual tracks are expressed by “ (unused)”. Used tracks are automatically

named. (The name can be modified later.)
