Recording/playing back a song
Quick Start
Adjusting the input level
Adjust the volume of the input source for recording.
1. Lower the MASTER fader.
2. Turn the INPUT LEVEL knob to its center position and
then slowly increase the MASTER fader.

At this time, use the INPUT LEVEL knob to adjust the
input level so that the level changes in the -12 (between
-24 and -6)–0 dB range of the “IN” level meter.
The volume level is adjusted with the MASTER fader
and INPUT LEVEL knobs.
Level meter display
This shows the volume levels for each track.

(4) Using insert effects
The BR-864 comes with four onboard effects processors: an
insert effect, loop effects, track EQ, and mastering tool kit.
Below is an explanation of the operations related to the insert
effects.
What is an insert effect?
An effect added directly to a specific signal (with the BR-864,
this refers to the instrumental sounds from an INPUT jack) is
called an “insert effect.” The effect pedals that a guitarist
connects between his guitar and amp are a type of insert
effect. Loop effects, on the other hand, are effects connected
to the send/return jack of mixers and other similar devices.
(refer to p. 41)
Switch effect patches
The BR-864 provides numerous effects for vocals, guitar, etc.,
and two or more of these effects can be used simultaneously.
Such a combination of effects (i.e., the types of the effects
used and the order in which they are connected) is called an
“algorithm.”
Each effect in an algorithm offers a certain number of
parameters, which allow the sound to be altered (similar to
tweaking the knobs on a stomp pedal). The algorithm and its
parameter settings are bundled into units called “effect
patches.”
By changing the effect patch, you can simultaneously change
the stored effect combinations, their on/off status, and the
parameter settings, and completely change the sound.
1. Press [EFFECTS] to display the currently selected effect
patch.
fig.00-414d
Your BR-864 allows you to automatically select the most
suitable “banks” by pressing an INPUT SELECT button.
For example, pressing the [GUITAR/BASS] INPUT
SELECT button changes you to a guitar bank patch, and
pressing [LINE] changes you to a line bank patch.
Banks are a collection of effect patches.
