This is going to sound retarted, i have recorded using the 4 tracks of the 8. when i go to burn it, i can only burn track 1 and 2 or track 3 and 4. how do i get it to burn the whole thing?

[ProAudioDVDs]

Use the Bounce mode to bounce all your 8 track AND the rhythm track AND any open input onto the second set of v-tracks on tracks 7 and 8. When you press the rec mode button to bounce, you'll see the tracks you are to bounce to on the screen. They should say 7/8 - 2. Then bounce all the track to these tracks and burn from 7/8-2. Cheers!

How do I get to song pattern mode on this thing? I'm trying to record my own music but it ends up in the background behind the preset patterns.

[DjNyteRyda]

Just got mine. trying to learn it

[bedruidess]

Very good:))

@ProAudioDVDs I recently took an early blues vocal and put some music to it on my unit. Is there anyway of recording a realtime drum performance to the whole track? The tempo of the sample is very free and changes throughout, so its not in time to a click, and a custom pattern on loop would be out of time. I would normally use a computer for this kinda thing but wanted to know for doing quick demos.

Any info would be a great help ;)

@phoenixy2010 I got mine from ebay

I've been having problems with mine saying "drive busy" when I'm recording, and then it wont play or let me record. I have tried initializing the card and it'll work fine for 5 mins or so and then the same thing, how do I solve this problem?

[GaryG1960]

I brought this DvD ( excellent) and lost it ! So I am having to buy it again!! But why do you only give paper manuals that take you all day to understand how to do minor things, when your DVD shows me in seconds. We do not want manals we are lazy muscians we want you to show us. Would rather pay extra and have an instrucion DVD. You are missing a trick here does anybody else give away DVD instruction manuals, might be a good selling point!!

[getsaved777]

how do you record vocals that's what no boss 9000 test or tutorial shows? why not/ please be the first.

[ctrounce80]

Too bad mine won't even turn on
