Disabling COSM effects did seem to eliminate the problem but now I'm trying to figure out how to deal with a continuous background hiss during playback. It seems to be coming from the BR-800 electronics and specifically the mic 1 circuitry. But I may be misinterpreting what's going on.

I just now ...two years Replying to my own question as it might help others. I have discovered that the BR-800 allows only 2 tracks out for input to a DAW. Regardless of how many tracks are recorded in the BR-800 it will send out only two .I don't remember whether it sends information from only...

Follow-up. I tried with COSM effects disabled and the on/off hiss effect disappeared. Now I notice another noise problem ...there's a moderate background hiss all the time during playback. This is regardless of whether playback is via headphone output or line (RCA) output. I'm playing back...

I am trying to perform a simple vocal recording to demonstrate stereo recording using external dynamic mics via inputs 1 and 2. During playback there is very loud hiss during vocal sounds but silence between vocal sounds. In other words, the hiss seems to be induced during recording of a sound...

I'm having a problem with the BR-800 as an audio interface into Ableton Live 10. The BR is set up for 4 mic input and USB connection set to "Control Surface " Ableton doesn't see 4 separate tracks however. Instead it only sees a stereo 1/2 input. Input Configuration in Ableton doesn't allow...

Since I can't write lyrics (permanent writer's block), I either start with a chord progression or a melody. If I had to start with lyrics - excepting words already written such as Baha'i scripture - I'd never write music. Thank God, there are so many approaches.

So it would seem. Although in this case, the software is as limited as the Smith Corona!

Wow, that is one truly glaring design flaw. I hope Roland is aware of this limitation and will correct it with an update soon. As I've posted in another site, this limitation is like a word processor not allowing one to copy and paste text. Pretty silly, eh?

mjbphotos, Thanks again for your help understanding some of this. Unfortunately, the more I understand, the less I like the design. I still would like to know how I can copy custom patterns/arrangements from one song to another rather than re-doing them from scratch. Does anyone know how this...

So in order for me to utilize a 3/4 pattern that I previously created for one song in a different song, I have to re-create it from scratch and re-write it to the BR-800? (Is that really how bad the design is?) Is there any way for me to at least copy it over without re-creating it note by note?

mjbphotos Thank you for continuing this with me. I am not really trying to make an arrangement as of yet. My goal is simpler: to use a custom pattern - say a 2 measure 3/4 pattern - as one might use any of the pre-programmed BR800 patterns. i.e., I'd want to be able to select my custom...

I think we're not understanding each other. If you don't mind re-reading my posts I think you will see what I am asking. Thank you for your time in any case. Regards

Custom Pattern Woes mjbphotos, I'm not sure whether your latest post was in response to my question. Maybe not since it doesn't really speak to the question. If it was, then I should point out that I did CREATE the patterns using the PC software and that I'm not trying to create them on the...

Custom Pattern Woes I just bought a BR-800 and like it overall. I am stumped by the fact that I can't use custom patterns, created with the included Rhythm Editor software, in recordings. Actually, I have been able to use a custom 6/8 pattern in ONE song, but the pattern will not play in any...

Sorry, I've been away from the forums for a long time. Thanks for the advice!
