Re-recording only a mistake (Punch-in/out)

You may occasionally make a mistake while recording, or the performance may not turn out as you expect. In this case, you can punch in/out to re-record only the portion that is mistaken.

Changing to recording during the playback of a song is referred to as punching in, and changing from recording to playback is referred to as punching out.

Therefore, punch in at the location where you want to begin the re-recording, and punch out at the location where you want the re-recording to end.

With your BR-864, you can choose from manual or automatic punching in/out.

*You can use the Undo function (p. 55) to revert to the condition before re-recording.

*The data prior to punch-in/out will remain on the memory card without being erased. If this data is no longer needed, in order to use the memory card effectively, use the song optimize function (p. 84) to delete unneeded data from the memory card.

Manually punching in/out

You can use the button on the BR-864 or a foot switch to punch in or out.

When you are playing an instrument and performing the recording by yourself, it may be difficult to punch in or out using the button on the BR-864. If this is the case, you can use a separately sold foot-switch (BOSS FS-5U, Roland DP-2, etc.) and use your feet to punch in and out.

*When using manual punch-in/out, you need to allow for an interval of at least one second between the punch-in and punch-out points.

Manually punching in and out using [REC]

As an example of use, the explanation below assumes you are manually punching in and out to re-record a portion of track 1, which is a track to which you have already recorded.

1.Press REC TRACK [1].

REC TRACK [1] lights alternately in orange and green.

2.Place the fader for track 1 at the location shown below.

fig.01-302

3.Start playback and adjust the volume of the input source using the INPUT LEVEL knob.

Listen to the track you will be re-recording and the input source and adjust the volume of the input source using the INPUT LEVEL knob so that it is the same level as the track.

4.Move to a position before where you want to start re- recording and press [PLAY] to start playback.

5.Press [REC] to punch in at the location where you want to start recording.

The BR-864 starts recording.

6.To punch out, press [REC] (or [PLAY]) again.

Each time you press [REC], you punch in and punch out, so if there is another location that you want to redo, then you can punch in again at that location using the same procedure.

7.Press [STOP] to stop recording.

*During updating, “Keep power on!” appears in the upper line of the display, while the lower line shows what is being processed.

8.Listen to the re-recorded results.

Return the song to a point earlier than you re-recorded, and play it back.

Adjust the volume of track 1 using the TRACK fader.
