Track bouncing is the act of combining multiple tracks with effects, or combining your individual tracks to a final stereo mix. On the BR-8 this procedure is intuitive and easy to perform. In this example, let�s combine recorded tracks 1-6 with reverb to tracks 7 & 8 in stereo. Setup the Mix 1. While in INPUT REC MODE, set the pan (left/right balance) of tracks 1-6 as desired by pressing the PAN button. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the PAN knob icons of 1-6 and TIME/VALUE dial to adjust the pan position. 2. Press PLAY to begin playback of the song, and use track faders 1-6 to adjust the volume balance of the tracks. 3. Press the REVERB button to apply or adjust the amount of reverb on tracks 1-6 using the method mentioned above. Change the Record Mode 1. Press the REC MODE button to change from INPUT to BOUNCE recording mode. The BOUNCE indicator will light. The INPUT SELECT indicator will go out and track status buttons 7 & 8 will blink red indicating record-ready status. Track status buttons 1-6 will be lit solid green indicating playback status. 2. Press ZERO to return to the beginning of the song. Bounce while Mixing 1. Press the REC button then the PLAY button to begin bounce recording. Adjust track faders 1-6 if individual track volumes need to be altered in the mix. 2. Press the STOP button when finished recording. 3. Bring the track 1-6 faders all the way down, and the track 7 & 8 faders up, then press PLAY to listen to the newly recorded tracks.
Record the performance 1. Choose and arm the recording track by pressing the round REC TRACK button (beneath fader) of the track to be recorded so it lights and blinks red. Verify the Input level and adjust if needed, using the procedure mentioned previously. 2. Press the REC and PLAY buttons to start recording. When finished recording, press the STOP button. 3. Press the ZERO button to instantly rewind to the start of the song, and press PLAY to listen to the track. Adjust the volume fader of the recorded track to the desired listening level. Adjusting Reverb on the Recorded Track 1. Press the REVERB button. 2. Use the CURSOR left/right buttons to highlight the Reverb Send knob icon for the recorded track. 3. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to apply more or less effect to the track. 4. To access the REVERB parameters, press the CURSOR down button, or press the REVERB button once again. Navigate to the various parameters using the CURSOR up/down buttons, and change values using the TIME/VALUE dial.
Note: Reverb can be added during recording or playback to the Input instrument and/or the Rhythm Guide if desired by using the CURSOR left/right buttons to select the IN or RHYTHM knob icons and the TIME/VALUE dial to increase the reverb level.
