Track bouncing is the act of combining multiple tracks
with effects, or combining your individual tracks to a
final stereo mix. On the BR-8 this procedure is
intuitive and easy to perform. In this example, let’s
combine recorded tracks 1-6 with reverb to tracks 7 &
8 in stereo.
Setup the Mix
1. While in INPUT REC MODE, set the pan
(left/right balance) of tracks 1-6 as desired by
pressing the PAN button. Use the CURSOR
buttons to select the PAN knob icons of 1-6 and
TIME/VALUE dial to adjust the pan position.
2. Press PLAY to begin playback of the song, and
use track faders 1-6 to adjust the volume balance
of the tracks.
3. Press the REVERB button to apply or adjust the
amount of reverb on tracks 1-6 using the method
mentioned above.
Change the Record Mode
1. Press the REC MODE button to change from
INPUT to BOUNCE recording mode. The
BOUNCE indicator will light. The INPUT SELECT
indicator will go out and track status buttons 7 &
8 will blink red indicating record-ready status.
Track status buttons 1-6 will be lit solid green
indicating playback status.
2. Press ZERO to return to the beginning of the
song.
Bounce while Mixing
1. Press the REC button then the PLAY button to
begin bounce recording. Adjust track faders 1-6 if
individual track volumes need to be altered in the
mix.
2. Press the STOP button when finished recording.
3. Bring the track 1-6 faders all the way down, and
the track 7 & 8 faders up, then press PLAY to
listen to the newly recorded tracks.
