Hello. I am pretty much new at recording. I have fooled around a very small amount on a friends very old Tascam a while back and that is about all the experience that I have. I just bought a BR8 and am trying to figure some ideas for recording. So here are my questions.

1. Lets say that I found a setting for an insert effect that I like and record a portion of a song with it. If I want to use those settings again to record a different portion on a different track can I get into a screen where I can see what the settings were and/or access them without having to write them down and adjust them from the effects bank each time that I would like to use them?

2. This is probably a silly question. On the machine there is a dedicated guitar input. If I want to record me and my friend playing guitar at the same time will I damage the machine if I plug the other guitar into the Mic jack? What about a key board?

3. I can pretty much get a song onto the machine but what I really don't know much about is how to do a mix down. Any suggestions?

4. Is there some way that I can make my bass sound really vibrate once I have it on the machine? I don't even know how low bass is accomplished on some of the songs that I have heard but I have always assumed that it had something to do with the recording process.

If there is any help that you can dish out please do because I am just floating right now. Thanks
 
There are two jacks for input one, a guitar specified jack and one to meant for a mic, and then there is another input which is meant for a mic. Those are the only jacks in the rear.
 
Another new BR8 owner...

ZZ - I also have just purchased a BR8, although it seems that you are further along in the learning curve than I am. Please keep posting here as you learn this machine. See my post about "getting started", in this same forum. That will give you an idea about how far I am with the BR8. I also have an Alesis SR16 drum machine that I am trying to figure out. Wish me luck.........
