***HELP!*** BR800 bouncing tracks!!!

[Burtog]

Be sure to selct V-track 2 on all the tracks after bouncing, as the BR800 won't do it for you. (Neither do the mbr as far as I can recall).

Geir, well spotted this makes sense. I guess I just select the V-tracks by going to menu v-tracks and then scrolling down the lines to pick the new recording destinations?

Yes. "TRACK"-"V-TRACK" then use the arrows "<" & ">" to select TR1-7/8 and use the wheel to select new "V"-tracks. (p.39 in the manual)  When bouncing, or mastering as it's called on the br800, it defaults to TR78V8 (or V-MST as they for some reason have called it). If you're not mastering it makes more sence to bounce to V2 imo. Also, be sure to turn off the master effect (if on) when bouncing unless you intend to use it.( I only use mastering effect when bouncing if I am just mixing down harmony vocal tracks that needs some compression. )

Thanks ALL for your help, I'll report back and let you know how I get on!!

I'm quite late to the party, but I want to reiterate 64Guitar's point about keeping the Mastering and Bounced tracks separate. I always bounce to 5/6 V(x) and keep mastered tracks on 7/8 V(x).

I do it because I'm pretty lazy about taking notes, so it's really simple to keep them straight. I also go from bottom to top, starting with V8 and work my way back to V2 (if it's still available).

great thread guys

I am approaching a new level of knowledge with recording and this kind of advice just helps me to consolidate that knowledge.

Thanks a lot

As promised some feedback.

I was successful in bouncing tracks for Snowpigs song at the weekend, followed all your advice, it was much easier than I thought in the end but it has opened up a hole new world recording wise.

Thank y'all!!
