Hi ipri,

Did you select « USB» as your BR-800 input source? (MENU ---> INPUT SELECT ---> USB) Make sure your sound playback device on your computer is set to USB (I think it's somewhere in your settings/sound & audio panel (Windows... can't help your here, I'm still running WindowsXP!!!). You can also go analog using a stereo jack from your computer's audio out to your BR-800's LINE IN and select « LINE IN » as your input source. (MENU ---> INPUT SELECT ---> USB)

Let me know if this helps or not.

Good luck,
Ben

From the manual:
Here’s how audio data played back by your computer can
be sent to the BR-800 via USB and recorded on the BR-800’s
tracks.
1
Use a USB cable to connect the BR-800 to your
computer.
2
In your computer’s audio playback software, switch
the audio output destination to the BR-800.
For details on how to switch the output destination,
refer to the owner’s manual for the software you’re
using.
3
Press [MENU].
The MENU screen will appear.
4
Use the CURSOR [ ] [ ] buttons to move the
cursor to “INPUT SELECT,” and press the [ENTER]
button.
The INPUT SELECT screen will appear.
5
Use the CURSOR [ ] [ ] buttons to move the
cursor to “INPUT,” and use the dial to choose USB.
D_InputSelect_USB.eps
6
Press [EXIT] a number of times to return to the play
screen.
7
Record as described in “Recording” (p. 36).

Hi, TBOF, I have a BR1200 myself which has the punk patch for di'ing bass, i really like the deep low growl you managed which doesn't quite tally with punk patch sound untouched, would you care to share the EQ settings you employed after inserting the effect?

Cheers
Alec.

Hi...when I'm on a song (BR800)...can I jump to the next recorded track without having to go to "Song" then selecting the next number?

No. When you load a song, the screen with the meters will automatically load. You have to do the menu/song/select/enter thing again.
