[WILLIAMLIKESPUPPIES]

LOOK HOW DO I USE THE MIC WITHOUT HAVING TO RECORD ,JUST WANT TO SEE IF MIC IS WORKING .NO HELP ANY WHERE .I;M AN IDIOT HELP ME

@jakacspear, I've been messing around with the br-1600 for a few months so Im still new to recording. What I've done is: 1- record dry with no effect on multi-track mode . 2- Once track is recorded, I add effects to it.. 3-Then bounce to a different track or a v-track (if Im out of tracks) Then go to "track move" if I want to re-assign to the playback track.( Hope this makes sense). The DVD from these guys helped me quite a bit.

does any one else find this thing hard to use? granted I have next to no experience with recording equipment, but I was told this was easy to use ! not so far!

[jakacspear]

In need of a bit of help. Does anyone know, if its possible, how to individually choose an effect on each track while using the Multi-track mode? Im using 3 mics to record 3 different string instruments at the same time, but when I choose multitrack for live recording, I can only choose from the Multi-track effects which are terrible. I want to be able to assign each mic to its own vocal effect. Any help would be awwwesome. thanks.

Cool! But when did Wayne Gretzky become such an expert on recording??

[sginblack]

i was about to get this,id used it with a friend who had it,but i decided to build a computer and go that route eventhough im a complete idiot with computers,my advice: go with computer recording;its very easy after you watch all the youtube videos on it,i went with the focusrite saffire pro 24dsp and cubase 5,sound quality,editing options: soooooooo worth it,it cost me less than this too!

[DoctaDim]

does this have beats in it?
