BR-600 Question

I recorded on 4 tracks along with the drum-kit (sounds great btw...), I adjusted the Pan and Chorus/Delay/Reverb, then bounced it down to L/R. The Pan worked great, but the Chorus/Delay/Reverb settings did not get recorded during the bounce. They also did not show up on the Mastered copy of the piece. Did I adjust the CH/D/R in the wrong step? Any suggestions? (thanks in advance!)

Bounce mode records the output of the mixer section, which is what you hear in your headphones. So listen carefully to the mix while bouncing, then compare it with the finished recording. They should be the same. If you had the loop effects (reverb and chorus/delay/doubling) enabled, then you should have heard them in your headphones while bouncing and they should sound just the same on the finished recording. I can think of no reason why they would not be recorded if you heard them in the mix while the bounce was recording. Of course, if you weren't monitoring with headphones while bouncing, then it's possible that you inadvertently switched off the loop effects before you started bouncing.

Well, I was monitoring during the bounce and the effects were there and sounded good, but when I replayed the bounced track, they were not there. Is there a set-up "switch" (function in the song set-up) that enables the loop effect that has to be manually turned on when starting a new song?

No, the only switch for the loop effects is the one on the drum pads (third button on the top row). If it was off, you wouldn't hear the loop effects. If it was on, then you would hear the loop effects and they would be recorded during the bounce. If you hear them during the bounce but they're not recorded, I can think of no reason to explain that. It shouldn't be possible.

Are you sure you were in Bounce Mode? Loop effects are not recorded in Mastering Mode or Input Mode. They're only recorded in Bounce Mode.

After work yesterday, I went home and tried again. I deleted the bounced and mastered tracks (V78-1 and -2) and started over again, by the book. After the first bounce, I did a playback, and the effects were there. Mastered it in the Dance-Mix and it sounds great. Not sure what I did not do the first time, but it's there this time. Thanks again 64Guitars!
