Recording/playing back a song
(9) Completing the song
—Mixdown
Combining the recordings on multiple tracks down onto two
tracks is called “mixing down.” When mixing down, you
must first perform the final settings such as adjusting the
sound tone, sound positioning (pan), and volume balance,
and finish up the song.
Setting the left-right positioning
(pan) of the sound
The left/right placement of the sound is called “pan.”
1. Press [PAN].
The Pan settings screen appears.
fig.Q02-21
2. Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] and select the track for which
you will change the pan setting.
* You can also select tracks directly with the REC TRACK buttons.
* You cannot change the pan setting for the RHYTHM/LOOP
track.
3. Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to change the pan settings.
4. Press [EXIT] to return to the top screen.
Adjusting the tone—Equalizer
The BR-1180/1180CD’s mixer provides a two-band equalizer
(EQ) for each track which allows you to adjust the tone of the
low-frequency and high-frequency ranges.
* You cannot use the equalizer with RHYTHM/LOOP track.
For details on these settings, refer to “Mixer effect
parameter functions” (p. 141).
1. Press [EQ].
The equalizer settings screen is displayed.

2. Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] to select the parameter.
3. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial to change the settings.
4. Press [EXIT] to return to the top screen.
Adding width to the sound
—Loop Effect
Chorus and delay as well as doubling and reverb are
provided as loop effects in the BR-1180/1180CD’s mixer
section. Effective use of these allows you to add greater
breadth to the sound.
For details on these settings, refer to “Mixer effect
parameter functions” (p. 141).
1. Press [CHORUS/DELAY] or [REVERB].
The screen for adjusting the volume level sent from the
tracks to each of the effects (the send level) appears in
the display.
fig.Q02-23
2. Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] and select the track for which
you will change the setting.
3. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial to change the setting.
4. Press [CHORUS/DELAY] or [REVERB] once again.
The screen for adjusting the amount of each effect
applied appears in the display.
What is a loop effect?
Effects connected to the send and return of mixer effects are
called “loop effects.” You can adjust the depth of the effect by
changing the send level of each mixer channel (equivalent to
the tracks of the BR-1180/1180CD).
Since the send levels for each track are separate, you can
change the depth individually. This allows you to, for
example, have a deep reverb on the vocals and slight reverb
on the drums, or any such combination.
Opposed to insert effects (p. 34), which are applied to specific
sounds, loop effects are applied to the complete track.
