You really need to read the manual.Even though a machine such as the BR1600 is advertised as being simple to operate it's a comparitive term.

IF the BR is anything like the old VS series you only get two effects simultaneously and you need to print some effects in order to free them up for use down the road in the mixing process.Learn the difference between an insert effect and an effect send too.


I don't know what you are paying to rent the BR and I can appreciate someone being low on funds,but the reality of the situation is that you would probably be better off buying one and having the time to learn it and use it properly getting good results rather than trying to force it due to time constraints and cutting yourself short on the quality of the final product.

Yo Gal with Rhythm and the BR:Call SWEETWATER--free call.* Ask a techie about how to get your reverb into the vocal.In most units, you can add the reverb when mixing and pump or dump it to your the desires of your ears.** I speak of studios in a box; however, the PC systems work about the same way, only with a mouse.Sweetwater offers this techie advice; I don't work there.* I take help wherever I can get it.* Especially true if you are a customer but not necessary.Try "stage reverb" for vocals.* Don't bounce it too much and you will enjoy the results.Green Hornet

adding effects

very simple
forget buying it renting it is fine if your skint on cash

you cant add or use the vocal effects after the track has been recorded dry

what you can do however is add reverb / delay /compression / eq
at any time during the recording process

this is quite simple and only a few buttons
if you want to go deep into manipulating these effects to your desire you MUST read the manual

but its all really simple

That's wrong. You can add effects before or after recording. You can add effects to already recorded tracks when you are mixing down or you can bounce the track down with effects to another track to free up the effects processor to use with other tracks down the road.

You are definitely not limited to only using the effects during recording. They are available at any time.
