Yes, that's what I thought. I'm going to have to knock up a studio sheet in Excel or something to keep track of what's on each V-Track for my song projects. Unless you know of some downloadable ones? :D

Agreed. I didn't realise trepanning was still done in the 21st Century. :D

Just realised - I could have kept the drum recordings in the V-tracks, couldn't I? :doh: It's a learning process with this machine - I've only just appreciated that your only real limitation is the size of your sound card. I've just bought a 16 gig card. :D

I'm afraid so, mate - if you refer to the recording sequence, you'll see that the drums were committed to a stereo mix early on in the process. If I'd recorded a couple more versions to the V-track with a slightly different balance then I might have been a bit happier. But if you're a home...

I think we're talking at cross-purposes, my friend. I'm talking about the Boss machine, which has four XLR inputs, directly recording to four tracks. I actually wish that the four-track record could be a combination of the onboard condensers plus two other mics, but it is not to be. :D Still an...

Right, here goes - please be kind. :D BRWC_0708_06.wav

It's four-track simultaneous recording per take. Tracks 5/6 and 7/8 are stereo channels controlled with a single fader.

I've bought a Boss BR-800 and I think it's superb. It comes bundled with Sonar LE DAW software, which I haven't got to grips with, yet. Highly recommended. :)

I've had my BR-800 for a couple of weeks now, and I have to say I think it's bloody fantastic! I haven't done any home recording since owning a Tascam Porta-one in the eighties, so modern digital stuff is a bit of a revelation, to be honest. Anyway I just wanted to clear up a couple of points...
