Roland BR-864 owner manual Setting the portion to be repeated, How to Record

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

Repeatedly Recording Over the Same Location (Loop Recording)

The repeat function (p. 49) allows you to play a certain portion of a song (the loop portion) over and over again.

If you used auto punch in/out together with the repeat function, the portion will be repeated so the result of the recording can be heard right away.

If the recording did not sound as you wished, simply press [REC] and redo the recording.

Using the repeat function and auto punch in/out together in this manner to repeatedly perform recording is known as “loop recording.”

*For details on how to set the portion where recording will occur (the portion between the punch-in and punch-out positions), refer to “Auto punching in and out” above.

Setting the portion to be repeated

Before you begin recording, you will need to set the starting and ending position of the portion to be repeated.

*The portion to be repeated should contain the portion that you wish to re-record (the portion between the punch-in and punch-out points).

If the portion to be re-recorded is not fully contained in the repeat portion, the recording may not start or end as desired.

How to Record

As an example of use, the explanation below assumes you are using the auto punch in/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.

3.Use the repeat function (p. 49) to repeat the playback of the song 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 so that it is the same level as the track.

4.Press [STOP].

5.Press AUTO PUNCH [ON/OFF].

The indicator lights, showing that the auto punch in and out have been set.

6.When you are ready to record, press [REC], then press [PLAY] to begin recording.

After you press [PLAY], you can record from the time the first punch-in is reached until the time the punch-out is reached. Re-record the portion as desired.

When the song is repeated, you can check the result of what you just recorded. If the recording is not satisfactory, press [REC] and perform the recording again.

7.Press [STOP] to stop recording.
