Question regarding LINE IN and multiple tracks

Hopefully I can explain this clearly...

I tried recording with a condenser mic thru the LINE IN. This obviously records to two tracks for stereo (T3 and T4 in this case), which is fine. But if, for ANY reason, you change your mind and want to erase the stereo tracks, the information is gone, but they the tracks still appear to be "bound". It shows up under level, reverb, etc as:

LEVEL (for example)

100 100 100 = 100
[1] [2] [3] [4]

Which now makes the tracks fairly useless unless you still plan on using both track for the same thing again.

Is there any way to get it back to individual tracks? Or am I SOL with having them stay like that?

lets say that after you delete the stereo pair (T3 and T4) you want to record to only T3, then just press the T3 button twice to "unbind" it from the pair. that should do the trick... not at home so i cant verify this but its the first thing that came to mind and i'm pretty sure its correct.

I think I tried everything EXCEPT double clicking the track button! I try it when I get home. Thanks

Well, hitting the track twice did NOT unbind it. It'll clearly record to the individual track, but all changes to reverb, which vtrack, and panning are still bound to the other track (tracks 3 and 4 in this case).

What you're referring to is called Stereo Link and it's described on page 41 of the Micro BR manual, 3rd edition. Pressing both track buttons (TR1 and TR2, or TR3 and TR4) simultaneously will toggle the linked state (and the "=" symbol between tracks).
