Introduction to the BR-600
The BR-600 digital multitrack recorder has been designed to
provide the intuitive feel of a conventional music recorder,
making it simple to operate, even for beginners.
No matter what your experience, the BR-600 brings you the
excitement of digital recording, from recording of the
performance to the final mixdown, right from the day you
take it home.
With portability a priority in its design, the BR-600 features a
smaller than Letter size (183 x 257 mm (10-1/8 x 7-1/4 inches))
and is only 27 mm (1-1/8 inches) thick. It can also run on six
AA-size batteries(alkaline batteries recommended), meaning
you can put it into a guitar case pocket and take it with you,
enabling you to record wherever you go.
All processes are fully digital
In addition to a digital mixer and digital recorder, the BR-
600 contains five digital effects processors.
It is possible to perform all steps needed for recording,
including editing, bouncing tracks, using effects, and
mixing down, entirely within the digital realm, so there is
no deterioration in the signal quality.
Using the USB connector also allows you to save the song
data you create to a computer.
Rhythm function
The “Rhythm function” makes it easy to capture phrases or
musical ideas that come to mind. Simply select an
appropriate Rhythm pattern, and set the tempo.
In addition to the internal preset Rhythm patterns already
provided, you can also create your own original Rhythm
patterns. By recording using the Rhythm function, editing
one measure at a time is greatly simplified.

Equipped with V-Tracks
The BR-600 has eight audio recording tracks, which
provides for simultaneous recording on two tracks, or
simultaneous playback from eight tracks.
Moreover, each track incorporates eight virtual tracks,
called “V-Tracks,” for a total recording capability of 8 x 8 =
64 tracks! This increased versatility allows you to do things
such as record numerous takes of a guitar solo, which you
can later choose from when putting it all together.
Also, while playing back eight tracks, you can use the
bounce mode to bounce to a V-Track and perform stereo
bouncing without needing to erase any data.

What are V-Tracks?
Each track consists of eight virtual tracks, and you can
choose any one of these tracks for recording or
playback. This means that you can record to up to a
maximum of 64 tracks, and then select any eight of
them to play back. These virtual tracks that make up
the actual tracks are called “V-Tracks.”
A “Track Sheet” is provided at the rear of this manual
(p. 226), which you make copies of, and fill in when
recording music to V-Tracks.
