Using LIVE REC Mode
1 From eBand mode—where we last left off—press the
Power button once to light the LIVE REC indicator. The
LIVE REC home screen appears.
The BR-80 records in LIVE REC mode using its built-in mics.
For simplicity’s sake, we’ll record speaking, singing, or making some
interesting noise—whatever’s easier or more fun for you.
2 Position yourself so that you’re roughly in-between the two mics. You
don’t have to get very close. If you’ve got the BR-80 on a table in front
of you, for example, you’re fine.
Eventually, you’ll want to try making a few LIVE REC test recordings in
different positions to find the location that gets you the best sound.
3 Press the BR-80’s REC button so it flashes and “ REC” and “
STANDBY” alternately flash at the bottom of the screen to show
you’re in Recording Standby mode.
Recording with eBand
Recording your eBand guitar performance or practice could hardly be easier.
1 Hold down STOP and press to return to the top of the
song.
2 Press REC to arm the BR-80 for recording.
3 Press PLAY 4 to start playback of the song, and play or sing
along.
4 Press STOP when you’re done—the BR-80 automatically saves
your new song, assigning it a default name you can change later as
described on p 98 of the Owner’s Manual.
5 Return to the top of the song and press PLAY 4 to hear your new
recording.
If you’d like to record singing instead of guitar playing, you can
easily use the BR-80’s built-in mics by simply making sure nothing’s
connected to your GUITAR/MIC or LINE jacks, and setting your level
using the REC LEVEL wheel on the right side of the BR-80.
The BR-80 Stereo Recorder—LIVE REC Mode
LIVE REC mode is the simplest way to use the BR-80. It’s extremely handy,
too, since with LIVE REC mode, you can
• capture new musical ideas—at the moment of inspiration, before they
slip away.
• record rehearsals and performances—with no setup required other than
bringing the BR-80.
• record sounds—that you want to use in your music, or that you just
don’t want to miss.
In LIVE REC mode, the BR-80 acts as a ready-to-go stereo recorder with high-
quality built-in mics. Let’s check it out.
