i have m audio bx5a and they work fine. you have to get the wire adaptors to fit from a 1/4 in to rc cables. my deal was 300 for two speakers. rc cables(like the cables for a xbox witch go in tv) go in the line out of the br-600.

so is that how it plays 64 tracks. it can play all that at once.confused about the virtual tracks and the 8 tracks up front. and also how can you set up more than two mikes like for drums.

everywhere is different thats why you have to adjust settings everywhere you go. If you could find a way to plug directly into pa like on a line out and put it into the input of you device. they would have to have a mike though from every instrument cause if only vocals r goin through pa thats all you will get in the recording. and just using two mikes in a room with a loud band creates alot of fuzzyness and such. not good sound quality. if you do just use the mikes stay further away from the bass amp and low frequencies cause it will maxout you mikes and sound horrible.

before you export it to your pc you bounce all your tracks to 7/8. then you click on rec mode till the light hits mastering. press enter. so now its mastered-meaning all the tracks are exactly how you put them on your bs 600. pay attention to which track its mastered to. sometimes it gets mastered to 7/8 v3 etc...so when click on export make sure you send the track that you mastered.

You need to master everything down to one track. You'll probably want to master it down t oa sterio track, lets say 7/8. Then just upload 7/8. that should give you what you want.

What you need to do. Once you have recorded all of your tracks. Use the Bounce and mastering function, this will allow you to save all of your track to one single track. If i didnt explain it that well, use the user guide that came with your Br-600.
Hope that helped.

Page 65 explains it pretty good, just did what you are asking about and it worked well. Now if I can find a place that sells the compactflash cards. Everywhere I check doesn't have the right ones.

Hi there

You will need to mix them down aka bounce to tracks 7/8 and then export. As 7/8 is a stereo track you will end up with a single wav ready for burning

Ya I am having the same problem right now. I see that when you export, the last thing it tells you to select the track and v-track to be exported (T1V1) but I want to whole song to be exported. Does anybody know?

In reply to Axel.

1st you should create a virtual track on 5/6 or 7/8 that includes all the tracks you want transfered. Once you do that step, then follow the USB procedures to upload your song (Track 5/6 or 7/8). That will create one file in your USB folder that has all the song information as you listen to it on the BR-600. Good Luck.

Hello,
I'm far from an expert, but this is what I do.
-Download and install audacity.sourceforge.net/ (mastering software)
-Export as usual, I made a recording folder on my home desktop and put the single files in that.
-Import each file into Audacity and mess with that toolkit.
-When finished, export as MP3 and it's now a complete mastered file.
You could also use the Mastering toolkit on the BR600...
Hope that helps.

WHAT'S UP? I HAVE A BOSS BR 600, VERY SIMPLE, AFTER RECORD YOUR TRACKS, U NEED TO - BOUNCE THEM TOGETHER - ONTO TRACK # 7/8 . WHEN U ARE READY TO TRANSFER THE FILE, MAKE SURE THAT U CHOOSE TRACK 7/8 V-2, BECOUSE ON V-1, WILL BE YOUR ORIGINAL RECORDER STEREO TRACK. WHEN U MASTER, YOUR MASTER TRACK WILL BE ON: TRACK 7/8 V-3, BECOUSE ON V-2 IS ARE YOUR BOUNCED TRACKS, AN SO ON. HOPE IT HELPS.

Even if the peak levels aren't lighting, your recording level could be too high. Also, you could be using bad headphones, or the monitor volume could be too high. these are the basics, sounds like you've got them covered. You'll probably need to call customer service if you haven't already figured it out.

Dirt -

To export to a Mac, first connect the USB cable (obvious). Press the utility button (make sure that "pad" isn't lit up). Cursor over to USB, hit enter. It will come up with a screen saying USB STORAGE Type: BACKUP. Use your time/value knob until it says EXPORT and hit enter. MAC audio files are AIFF, so cursor over to AIFF and hit enter again... Easy enough.

If you need a program to export to, go to www.rolandus.com, support, download and they have a converter program to change the .BRO files into .WAV or .AIFF files. From there, you'll have to set up a new folder to save the .AIFF file to.

You can delete Lydia by initializing your card. You could also just connect via USB, find the file and delete it from the boss folder.

Ellipsis: Nick, it's supposed to say "idling." It idles while you do whatever it is you're doing: exporting, importing, etc. In fact, you can't perform these processes, which you do on your PC, not the BR-600, unless it says "idling." Hope that helps. 

Bounce,
Press the REC MODE button located to the right
of the display so the red LED next to the word “BOUNCE” is lit. Notice that
when you do this, the button under Fader 7/8 starts blinking red. This lets
you know the BR is bouncing your song in stereo to tracks 7 & 8. Press the
ZERO 9 button to rewind to the beginning of your song, press the main
REC button (the one with the red dot on it), and then press PLAY to start the
bounce. When the song is finished, pull down the MASTER fader for a nice
fade-out at the end of the song, and then press STOP.
hope this helps mate , mark

you can get SanDisk Compact Flash Ultra II 1GB at wal-mart for around $23.00 dollers. cheepest i have found other then ebay

For everyone with memory card questions,

The SanDisk Compact Flash Ultra II 1GB (only) cards available at Office Depot and Circuit City for $34.95 *(or $24.95 on sale) work perfectly with the BR-600.

If you have your manual handy, take a look at page 39: right hand column. Also look at page 95.

Here it is in short.

[PAD] not lit.
press [EFFECTS]
select "INPUT -REC DRY-"

If you monitor your recording with headphones, you will hear the reverb, but the recording will be dry so when you play it back there will be no reverb.

If you want the vocal to sound like there is no microphone, don't record anything. :)
Actually, I'm not quite sure what you mean -- have you thought of applying a filter to the dry recorded track?

Ellipsis: I believe anything you can hear while bouncing gets bounced. I don't understand why you wish to bounce only drum sounds. You already have them isolated on the "rhythm" track. The only way to not bounce something recorded is to turn down the volume on that track(s).

I have just had my br600 a few months, and suddenly ANY card, even the ones I have been using successfully with it are coming up as "UNSUPPORTED CARD!". This includes the factory one. It will not let me re-format them. Roland/Boss tech support was no help, nearest service centre is 2+ hours away and I REALLY don't want to ship it out to L.A. Can anyone help, please????!!
