Most of us have acquired the BR-1180 because we are aspiring songwriters and want to get our music recorded to share with anyone that will listen. Much of our success will depend on our skills as songwriters and musicians but since we have all decided to also take on the role of recording, mixing and mastering engineers we will have to develop an additional set of skills. Fortunately, the tools given to us in the BR-1180 arguably surpass anything that was even available at any level 10 to 15 years ago. And the interface is one of the easiest and most intuitive of any recorder available to date. Keeping that in mind, we should be able to create some great recordings by developing some understanding of basic recording concepts and through some “hands on” experience. Let’s start with some basic navigation. How do we get around? • The 4 CURSOR buttons above the MASTER FADER allow us to navigate to different positions on the BR-1180’s LCD screen. • The TIME/VALUE wheel will allow us to change the value of any number or character that is underscored by the CURSOR. • The EXIT/NO and ENTER/YES buttons are used for entering and exiting menus as well as for responding to prompts that will display during certain functions. Getting started with a new song. All of the BR-1180’s menus that are not CD or effects related can be found under the UTILITY button. That includes SONG and TRACK menus as well as menus that take us to SYSTEM related and many other functions. To create a new song: 1. Press UTILITY. 2. CURSOR to SONG. 3.Press ENTER. 4. CURSOR to NEW. 5. Press ENTER. 6. Turn the VALUE wheel to select LIN. 7. CURSOR to GO 8.Press ENTER. 9.Press YES to Save the current song or press NO to not save the current song. About recording modes. There are 5 different record modes to chose from when you create a new song. LIN (linear), MT1 (Multitrack 1), MT2 (Multitrack 2), LV1(Live 1), LV2 (Live 2). The LIN mode is a linear 16 bit mode. The same as a CD. It is the highest quality yet it will give you approximately 60 hours worth of total tracking time. The other 4 modes use various degrees of RDAC encoding to increase that time even further with minimal degradation. Inputting a Signal. There are 4 types of audio inputs and 3 different types of audio outputs on your BR-1180. Inputs connections. • The LINE IN inputs are unbalanced RCA connections. These can be used as stereo inputs from the left and right outputs of a stereo instrument such as a keyboard or a drum machine. These cables can have .” on one end and RCA on the other end or they can have RCA on both ends depending on what you need for your particular instrument. • The XLR inputs will typically be the inputs that you will use for microphones. These inputs are balanced inputs. A Balanced cable uses an extra wire internally as a shield to help prevent noise from being picked up by the cable as it carries sound from its source to the input of the BR-1180. • The . inch MIC inputs are also balanced inputs that can be used instead of the XLR inputs for microphones or they can be used to connect instruments that have balanced or unbalanced outputs. There really is not any benefit to using a balanced cable for connecting a balanced output to a balanced input. Check the specs on your instrument find out what type of output that it has. Typically most keyboards and drum machines have unbalanced outs. • The GUITAR/BASS jack is a high impedance input that will allow you to directly connect an electric guitar or bass. Input Select. To select a source input to record from press the corresponding input select button. It will light red. • GUITAR/BASS, MIC 2- Select this when recording sounds from an instrument connected to the GUITAR/BASS jack or a mic connected to the MIC 2 jack or XLR connector. You will not be able to select both MIC 2 and the GUITAR/BASS at the same time. • MIC 1- Select this when connected to the MIC 1 jack or XLR connector. • LINE- Select this when connected to the LINE IN connectors. • SIMUL- By depressing both the GUITAR/BASS (MIC 2) and MIC 1 buttons simultaneously, you can record a signal from both mic inputs or from the GUITAR/BASS and the MIC 1 input at the same time. Each signal will be recorded to its own discreet track if 2 tracks are selected to record to. Also note that if an instrument and a mic are connected to both the GUITAR/BASS jack and MIC respectively, the GUITAR/BASS jack will take priority. Output Connections. To monitor a ...
