HELP with BR-864

[devoicp]

I need help with my BR-864. The owner's manual is too complicated for me....
I don't know how to transfer files from my BR-864 to my computer.
I am also not very proficient with the BOUNCE and FINALIZING song modes.
It is pretty frustrating and I would greatly appreciate any help.
I know how to record and retrieve/ name a song, but beyond that it is too complicated for me.
If anyone knows of a video tutorial it would be very helpful.

The manual is not THAT complicated. Read it and follow the instructions step-by-step, one section at a time and you will eventually get it. If you have problems with a stand-alone recorder you are going to be totally lost if you move to a DAW system (computer recording).

If you look at page 161 of the manual it is explained there. You need the file format to be compatable with your computer so for a PC it's WAV - "You can convert the BR-864’s track data into WAV or AIFF files and save these on your computer. After converting your mastered tracks to WAV or AIFF files, you can easily use your computer to create audio CDs with the data, as well as
load the data into audio applications" I would imagine you could do this track by track and import these into a DAW if that's what you wish or copy them to CD.
You need to tell us what it is you are trying to do....
We all start somewhere don't be afraid to ask.
