Recording A Track; Bounce Mode - Boss BR-1180 User Manual

Recording a Track.

Now that we have signal coming in and levels properly set and our destination tracks
selected, the next step is to actually record that signal.
Transport controls are used for starting, stopping , rewinding, fast forwarding and putting
the recorder into its record mode.
1) Press the red REC button to put the recorder into record standby.
2) Press PLAY to begin recording.
3) Press STOP to stop recording.
4) Press ZERO to take the recorder back to the beginning.
5) Press PLAY, to playback the recording.
FF (fast forward) and REW (rewind) will advance or rewind the tracks 1 second at a
time.
If you playback your track and you decide that you do not want to keep that take press the
UNDO/REDO button. Then Press ENTER. That will undo your last action.
To REDO your last UNDO:
1) Press the UNDO/REDO button.
2) CURSOR to REDO.
3) Press ENTER
To record a second track or overdub as it is called simply press the REC TRACK button
for a different destination track, set your levels for the new track. Then press REC and
PLAY. As you are recording your second track you will be hearing the first track. Use
track FADERS to control the balance between the two tracks.

Bounce mode.

What if I need more than 8 tracks?
A track BOUNCE is the process of rerecording audio from one or more existing tracks to
new tracks. All of the same rules apply as if you were recording from inputs. The only
difference is that your source signals are coming from tracks that you have already
recorded. You could sub mix (bounce) tracks 1-6 to tracks 7/8. After the BOUNCE your
music will play back on 7/8. That will allow you to record new tracks on 1-6.
Because the BR-1180 is digital and records in a linear mode (when using LIN) it is
possible to bounce tracks without any degradation. In the days of tape based recording
each bounce brought in an added generation of noise (hiss).
