Changing V-Tracks

The BR-900CD is a eight-track multitrack recorder, and each track consists of eight V-Tracks. You can select any one of these V-Tracks for recording or playback.

Therefore, by making use of the many V-Tracks, you can use the BR-900CD just as if it were a 64-track multitrack recorder. This allows a wide range of uses, such as recording one take of a guitar solo or vocal, and then recording another take without having to erase the first one. You can also then take just the portions of the V-Tracks that you like and put them together onto one track.

When you record new material while listening to a recorded

 

performance, your playing may tend to be buried in the

1

existing performances, making it difficult for you to play.

 

 

If this is the case, you can change the positioning (or

 

panning) of the INPUT (the instrument you are playing) and

 

record it so that it is not buried underneath the other sounds.

 

1.Press [PAN/EQ].

2. Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] to move the cursor to “PAN,” and press [ENTER].

The PAN settings screen appears.

4.Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to change the pan settings. The pan settings made here are automatically applied to the track that you are recording to, so that after recording is complete, you can listen to the track with the same pan as that when it was recorded.

5.Press [PAN/EQ] (or [EXIT]) to return to the Play screen.

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.
