Recording Your First Track; Recording Another Track - Boss MICRO BR BR-80 Workshop Manual

Recording Your First Track

Let's record a short track to give you an idea of how recording works on the
BR-80.
Press the  button until the Current Time and Measure/Beat
1
readouts show you're at the top of the song.
Current Time
If you'd like to practice a bit, press the RHYTHM button and work
2
out what you plan to record on your first track. When you're done
practicing, press RHYTHM again to stop it.
When recording begins, we'll let the rhythm play for eight beats—
when you're adding other tracks, you can use these two measures as
your countoff. The countoff can be trimmed off later on, after you're
done recording.
Press the REC  button so it flashes.
3
When you're ready to begin your countoff and then record, press the
4
PLAY 4 button.
After your countoff goes by, start playing your guitar.
5
When you've recorded all you want to record, press the STOP 
6
button—the BR-80 displays "Keep Power On! Working... " as it saves
your new recording onto your card.
To rewind to the top of the song so you can listen to your new track,
7
hold down STOP  and press —the BR-80 jumps back to the
beginning.
Press PLAY 4 to listen to your first BR-80 track.

If You'd Like to Try Another Take
If you'd like another shot at performing your part, you can do either of two
things. You can:
•
repeat the steps in "Recording Your First Track."
•
quickly delete your last take—by using the BR-80's Undo feature. Press
the MENU button, select TRACK EDIT, press ENTER, select UNDO/REDO,
and then press ENTER twice.
Obviously, the first option is simpler to perform. The advantage of Undo,
though, is that it actually deletes the unwanted recording from your card,
freeing up space.

Recording Another Track

Recording additional tracks is just as easy as recording the first. Try adding
another guitar track on top of your first one using the same effect, for
simplicity's sake. Here's how.
Press TR1/2 three times to display the REC TRACK window and select
1
TR2, for "Track 2. "
As you may have noticed, repeatedly pressing a track button toggles
between its available mono tracks and stereo pair.
The window closes, and you can see Track 2's ready to record.
