I'm glad your getting into your '1200
I found that I can do more things a lot easier on the '600 cos of my experience with the MBR as well.............

HI guys!
Well, I am trying to record a little jam, first time on the BR-1200. What a difference from the BR-864!
I wanted to do what I call a manuel double. I wanted to copy a track to another track, except I want it to be positioned timing wise just a slight bit behind the original track. I used to do this a lot with my BR-864. Then I would balance one track right, the other left. This gives me total volume control on both tracks.
Here's my question:
*How can I do this with the BR-1200?
I see how to copy a track, or move a track...BUT I don't have the option to just slightly delay the second track....I only see how to move it a full step.

That's because the display where you enter the "Start", "End", and "To" positions defaults to MEAS (measures). Press [F1] (DISP) to change the display to TIME so that you can specify a "To" time that's just slightly different from the "Start" time.

Right on!
Thanks!

Hello everybody!

I think I'm soon a new BR-1200 user. I have owned my Micro BR over a year and it is very good. I even recorded two songs, but haven't posted them, perhaps I wait that new gadget.  A couple weeks ago got 'the fever' to get more tracks. I have considered betveen different models and the final conclusion was BR-1200. I and a few friends will make a common order from Thomann next week.

I read one Finnish review about it and that engouraged me to choose BR-1200. And I have read your comments about it and I think you are pleased about it...?

Micro Br gave me the basic practice and I'll still use it beacuse of its portability in my cottage. I use it the store of inspiration in the future.

By the way...do you use the burner? In Micro BR, it was easy to transfer my song to computer. Somehow it feels unnecessary, because I think almost everyone has a burner in his computer..?

So, You'll be informed when it is here!

Edit: How do you compare the drums or rhythm programming betveen BR-1200 and Micro BR? At first the programming on Micro BR was a bit complicated...

I am more than pleased with it, I love it Redler.  It is wonderful.  I still use my microBR a lot for simpler songs, but for complex productions, it is the 1200 all the way.  It is a really great home recording studio, it does it all really well.

The 1200 drums are 1000x better than the microBR drums, and so much easier to program.  I really like the the programable bass also.

One thing I really like about the BR-1200 is the 3 rotary VALUE controls just below the display. These can be used to adjust effect parameters directly. I wish all BRs had this feature. Although, I'd prefer that there was a rotary control over each track fader for panning, EQ, etc. and that these same controls could be used for effect parameters as well.

A few hours ago the postman brought a heavy package different music staff to me and my friends. Yes, it included that BR-1200CD studio!

And now...studying the basics. The manual is quite heavy with 362 pages. So, let's start. I'll be here ask questions sooner or later, i suppose:-)

edit: There's great built in effects for guitar and bass. I made already two minutes test song and those slide switch are really handy to balance each track.

I purchased also a new condenser mic and I noticed better stay away from wall clock...

Let's continue....
