(NO PUN INTENDED :)) But am I on the right track?

[galestermusic]

I read the arrangement tutorial and played around with this.

What I have done is on Tr1, using the arrangement, put down about 3:30 of 4/4 metronome. Using it it as a blank canvas so to speak. 1 question is, will and editing that I do affect guitar tracks that I put on Tr2. I more concerned about erasing any measures that I need to on Tr1. Hell I don't even no how to erase measures that way.

In my opinion, this little machine is a powerful creative tool. The manual is not all that great but the machine is. I guess where I'm at a disadvantage is I have only limited recording experience. I.E. I messed around with a Fostex 4 track cassette about 18 years ago.

I'm still a little over whelmed by this and can understand why someone would put it down and not touch it. I have gotten discouraged and left it alone but would really enjoy being able to paint a musical picture.

Thanks for any help

I think I understand your confusion-
First of all -The drums are a separate thing all together from the 4 audio tracks. In a sense, the MBR is 4 track recorder plus a stereo drum track
So anything you do to a drum arrangement is not going to affect the audio tracks
The only exception would be is if your drum track IS recorded to an audio track-which sounds to me to NOT be the case-
Hope i explained it clearly

Forgot to say
NO-
Editing the drum arrangement won't muck up the audio tracks
changing the tempo will  make them sound ut of sync though
