Hey everyone,
Just got the DP-24SD and am overall loving it. I finished up my first song in terms of tracking/mixing, but now I can't seem to figure out mixdown mode. On my old Fostex MR-16, I would just mix everything down to the final stereo track, and then there was an option to save that stereo track as a wav file that I could then pull off the recorder via usb/computer. The manual's instructions for mixdown mode have me a bit confused. For starters, when I set an in and out point(which is required for mixdown mode) it says "track too short", so I haven't even been able to attempt a mixdown yet(I assume I am just not setting the in and points right, but I'm not even sure why I have to do that in the first place).
Basically what I want to do is do a live mix(there are parts of the song that require me to mute tracks while it's playing/fade things in etc) and then save that mix as a stereo track. Is mixdown mode the correct way to do this, and if so can anyone give me a brief tutorial? I assume that bouncing everything to the last stereo track is not the right way to go about this, but that's how I always did it on my old machine. Any help is appreciated. Sorry if this is obvious!
