Virtual tracks???

[Bro]

Sounding a bit noobish here..

But never understood what the fuck the virtual track are for?!

Help me out here.. Please! (expecting a nice long answer from you 64guitars )

Glad to help. But I think this will be a short answer since I've explained v-tracks as well as I can on my web site. So, I'll direct you to that page:

http://www.geocities.com/sixtyfourguitars/BossBr/Tutorials/V-Tracks_and_Bouncing.html

Study that page. Then, if some things are still not clear, ask more specific questions here and I'll be happy to try to answer them.

The term "v-track" is really just a coordinate used to specify one of the Micro BR's 32 tracks. If these tracks were arranged linearly, we could simply refer to them as Track 1 through Track 32. But, because the Micro BR only has a 4-channel mixer, the 32 tracks are connected to the 4 mixer channels in groups of 8. Since each mixer channel can only be connected to one track at a time, we must select which of the 8 tracks is currently connected to the mixer channel. That is the v-track.  So, instead of referring to tracks linearly, we refer to them as coordinates in a 4 x 8 grid (4 mixer channels with 8 tracks each) by specifying both the track (mixer channel, really) and the v-track of that track/mixer channel.

Okay. That was a longer explanation than I set out to give but I hope it helps. Hopefully, the web page will make it clearer. But, if you still have questions after reading it, don't hesitate to ask them.

the nice thing about vtracks are if you want, you can load them into a DAW and you access to 32 tracks
make them non virtual
-not bad for a $200 recorder

That is a very nice feature indeed! It is handy in big projects, where lots of tracks are needed.
