Changing V-Tracks

The BR-864 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-864 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.
