Using the Boss Micro BR, part 3

How do you delete a track you no longer want to use

[phatthand]

End of Part 2 and you still haven't recorded anything, you are scaring me off of one of these.

[crossingourfingers]

you cant record more than 4 tracks right? i know theres the v tracks, but once done theres no more than 4 different tracks that can be used?

[gravelroadmedia]

@crossingourfingers You are correct that only the 4 selected tracks can be played/exported at one time. However, by recording 4, bouncing the 4 down to 2, then layering 2 more and bouncing back down to 2, etc, you can have infinite layers of instruments.

you should make a video on exporting

[gravelroadmedia]

@ACE9647 Funny thing, I lost my BR. Maybe some frustrated user will sell me one cheap. I do regret not having found the time to make a "mastering" video because that is by far the most common question I get. One suggestion is to google and download the user manual and search that document for mastering. Good luck.

Thanks for your answer.i solved this problem by using bounce mode last night

[slowhandrichie]

i got a problem with my micro br

i can record my gitar on the arrangment and i can listen it

but i can't export the arrangment to mp3 mode

i can just listen my guitar as mp3

i ve been trying to this about 3 days:(

[gravelroadmedia]

@slowhandrichie Sorry for the trouble. I don't have a video showing it, but you need to get into "mastering" mode by pressing the exit+utility buttons to export the song to mp3 or WAV. l describe this in more detail in several comment posts. Good luck.

is it possible to plug an ipod into the boss micro br and play along a song with a guitar and record the part i played with the guitar?

[gravelroadmedia]

@QotsaFoo not exactly like that, because it won't let you select line-in and guitar as simultaneous inputs. (by the way, you CAN select GTR and built in MIC at the same time.)

However, here's how you can accomplish what you want: you need a mini-plug male to male stereo cable. Connect ipod to LINE-IN with LIN selected on the input page. Set input levels and record the song onto tracks 1&2 (stereo pair). Then rewind, set the input to GTR, and record your part to track 3 or 4. Good luck.

[QotsaFoo]

@gravelroadmedia i think there is an easier way for my intention: put a song on the micro br and then simply play along and record with the guitar at the same time... do u think this works?

[gravelroadmedia]

@QotsaFoo Good if that works. To transfer a song directly from computer it will need to be an mp3 file, and you'll need to be in mp3 mode to playback on the BR. Can you record a guitar track while playing back in mp3 mode? I doubt it, but let me know if it works.

My earlier answer assumed you wanted to over dub a guitar track using the normal multi-track recording mode.

[sandeatingcontest]

how do you assign specific effects for each individual track after recording all four tracks?

[gravelroadmedia]

@sandeatingcontest see reply at part 5 video. i cant seem to post a link for you.

[gravelroadmedia]

Get all these videos by clicking on the playlist link in the description (top right), or go to my channel and see the micro br playlist.
