Hey...I'm not sure I do saving lives. Too scary. There is a little black button in the space between the track faders and the master fader. It's directly above the "Track Mute" button. It's called something like "Track mode select" or something. Push it. You then cursor to where it says...

One problem with this clinic is that it doesn't have a clearly defined purpose. There was some discussion about this recently in a new member's post. That person and others got a bit tetchy with each other, but he/she did have a point that it is not clear what this forum really is for. And...

Well congratulations on finishing your album. That's a lot of work. I listened to "Still Me". Great sounds that take me back to the 90's. Which is cool coz I went somewhere else then and missed them. Great vox on this (I wonder what it is all about?) I did find the timing distracting --...

Hi Dumby Deep questions. The answer: yes. The Rhythm-Programmer/Loop track is really two mini "sequencers". By sequencer I mean a kind of automatic button-pushing-machine that is synchronized with the audio part of your recordings on other tracks. In the Rhythm Programmer part, the...

Hi Pashmee Go join the Yahoo BR1180 user group. Have a look in the files section for the "Tips". Search through old posts for just about any question you could probably have. Then ask your own questions. It's a very active and helpful group. The group's called BR1180, but covers 1180, 1200...

Hey, nice to hear you back with your great song. Something really weird going on with those vocals and EQ. But my ears don't sound right at the moment after days and days of mixing my own muddy concoctions. Heaps to learn. Enjoy tinkering. But gotta watch you don't lose the song. As my...

Hi A good hard case does cost a bit though. If it is only a one-off shipment, is it not worth getting a heaving corrugated cardboard box and packing the item up properly? You know, wrap the machine in bubble wrap. Then place that in the middle of an oversized heavy box filled with poly...

Hey. Of course you can mix to stereo on the BR-864. That's what it's for. Mix (bounce) to stereo on a virtual pair of tracks on 7-8. Then upload the stereo wav file in the same manner as you would a mono track (just select the 7/8v* track that the stereo mix is on.) My first song "So...

I wouldn't pay anything to do what you're suggesting. Those units are just too similar. And they're both old now. Save up and get something that will do what you want. (The BR864, 900, 1180, 1200 can all only record 2 tracks at a time. Since line-in is two tracks, you can never have that and...

Yes. A pain isn't it. What I would do is free up memory. Backup one of your other songs stored on there to one CD-R. Then Erase that song. Hopefully that should give you some memory to do what you want to do. Remember also that you should be Optimizing your songs to minimize their memory...

I find that us beginners hammer our ears because we don't really know what we're doing. I do anyway. I often find my ears dull after a mixing session (ouch -- scary) because it takes me so long to play with compression and eq. A pro would know what to tweak and get rid of those harsh...

Hi Sean I like "I try". It's probably the first song with rap-like vocals in it that I've ever liked. I think it's the melodic chorus that softens it up, and makes a nice contrast. Excellent stuff! I'm no expert on mixing. My first impression was that the guitars were too...

Yeah ido, that's great! And a good lesson (for me) as to the effect of a few basic tweaks in the core (rhythm section) of a song. Unbelievable transformation... But they're right! Now it's calling out for some subtle lead filling with something. Cheers for the great mixing workshop aspiring

Hey ido Glad you're getting to flush out your songs more. Wish I could do that. Now I'm not the best mixer -- as you know -- but something is not right yet about this. I can hear a good kick. But I was going: "What Bass?". It doesn't seem to have any attack (on my crap pc speakers at...

Hi Joepie I listened to Each and Every. Some really interesting stuff going on there. Lots of neat sounds and ideas. For me: I'm not sure they all sit together well. Maybe too many ideas for one song? Eg. when it starts I thought it was a blues-style guitar song with no vox. Which is OK...

Hey this is great! I went somewhere else during the 90's so this is a great intro to some of what I missed. Great voice. Perhaps my only comment is the dynamics in the first bunch of "Hellos". They stand out a little as not as good as your VOX on the rest (esp. the 4 repeats). The last...

Thank you for those very kind words Mr Mush :) And I appreciate that feedback. I'm hearing everything you're suggesting. (Eg. orig click track during recording had hats at 8ths but it was a bit overwelming. But you're right: shakes would prob work well, especially if brought in at the right...

Cheers ido :) Yeah, I guess it all depends on your mood at the time, eh? Maybe after this I would need to pump it up again just a little. Maybe I have been listening to too much Alt Country. And thanks for the view of the mix. My non-singing female friend will be pleased to hear that she...

Sorry, was still broken for me :confused: KT is pretty cool tho, eh? I have now built a trigger to midi box, so won't be using it as much (inspired by the glass triggering experiment). But it will always be useful to trigger off bass, guitar...??? aspiring

Yeah. That's a fun song. Lot's of variation to keep you listening...even tho the bulk of it is just an acoustic. Cool. Sometimes that high part -- mandolin or pretend mando -- gets a bit loud and drowns the rest (on my crap work speakers anyway). Maybe it sounds Ok on a more "HiFi" setup...
