Recording an additional performance while listening to an existing performance

Overdubbing

The tracks for which the REC TRACK button is lit in green
(or alternately in orange and green) are tracks that already
have data recorded on them.
The process of listening to a previously recorded
performance while you record additional material on
another track is called “overdubbing.” By recording the
bass, guitar, and vocals on different tracks, you can then
adjust the volumes of each instrument with respect to one
another, change the left-right sound balance, exchange data,
and perform other operations.

Press one of REC TRACK [1]–[7/8] to select the track
to which to record.
The status of each track can be determined from the
indicator on the button.

Green : Recorded data exists on the track.
Red : The track is selected for recording.
If a track with existing data is selected for recording,
the indicator will light alternately in orange and green.

Press [REC].
[REC] flashes in red and the BR-600 enters the
recording standby state.

Press [PLAY].
The [REC] and REC TRACK button indicators change
from flashing in red to being continually lit and
recording begins. [PLAY] lights up.
Only what you are currently playing is recorded to the
new track. The music that is being played back is not
recorded.
* If you use the REC LEVEL dial to turn down the volume of
the input source during recording, the sound will be
recorded in the audio track at a low volume, so that noise
will be more apparent when you raise the volume of the
audio track for playback.
If you want to lower the sound of the input source that you
are monitoring, lower the volume with the MASTER fader.
To change the volume of the music being played back, use the
TRACK fader for the respective tracks.

• Note that recording sounds to a track that already
contains recorded material erases the previous
recording.
• You cannot play back sounds recorded for less
than one second.
Some tips for overdubbing
When you record new material while listening to a
recorded performance, your playing may tend to be
buried in the existing performances, making it difficult
for you to play. In this case, you can slightly lower the
faders of the playback tracks, or pan the playback
tracks to left (or right) and the sound you are playing
to right (or left) to make it easier to hear yourself.
