I think I have the basics down ok with the BR recording 4 individual tracks learning all only from the video series but......the songs I hear others post sound much more elabrate and professional. Can anyone here help me out with more of the specific features or give me sugestions that would make my songs sound better. A simple start would be to have 5 or six tracks. I need to learn the Vtrack, looping, bounce options right? I start to mess around and get impatient. Can anyone put some step by step instructions like the video series has? Or explain how they specifically record their songs, how many tracks you use etc... I have so much I would like to create besides the simplistic stuff  but I am never fully sastified with my result Especially the endings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a tutorial on my website about V-Tracks and Bouncing which I've recently updated. I suggest you start with that. Then, if it's still unclear, you can ask specific questions about it here.

The tutorial is written with the BR-864/600/900 in mind but, as I mentioned several times in the tutorial, the Micro BR and BR-532 work exactly the same way except they only have 32 v-tracks instead of 64, and a 4-channel mixer instead of 8-channels. But the principals of v-tracks and bouncing are identical on all Boss recorders. So the tutorial applies to all BRs equally, as long as you keep in mind the difference in the number of v-tracks and mixer channels available. This should become clear once you've read the tutorial.
