I registered over at N-tracks but the damn thing won't let me post! Hoping someone can assist me here: I'm trying to record my Roland TD-3 drums as midi tracks in n-tracks. I'm using a Tascam US-428 as the interface with my laptop I'm able to record audio no problem. Can't seem to get the...

Can anyone tell me if there's such a thing as an external soundcard? I have the use of a laptop from my employer that I have at home on weekends. Would like to use it to add to my home recording setup-- but I don't want to have to install hardware or reconfigure it drastically. Any hope for...

I'm thinking about expanding my recording experience by getting n-track. I currently record using the BR-1600 multi-track but would like to do wave editing and the like. I have a laptop with a pentium 4 and 2.80 Ghz processor to use for the software. Is this fast enough? Do I need anything...

I think some of you BR owners also run a PC sequencer with your unit. I've been considering this too but don't know enough about how you integrate these two devices. Can someone explain generally how it works? Do you record everything on the BR normally and then import the recorded tracks...

I want to use a two-mic recording technique for recording my acoustic guitar. One of the mics will be my new Studio Projects C-1 condensor and the other will be a Shure SM-57 dynamic mic. My question is how can I record with both of these mics at the same time on my BR-1600, since the Phantom...

They say you're never satisfied-- you always want more than you've got. I think I'm finding this to be true for my 1600. I do a lot of overdubbing for my songs. It's just me laying down all the parts. I like to try different vocals and experiment with different guitar parts, so I'm using up...

I'm fairly new to the 1600 but I'm having a great time with it. I find the drum machine a bit cumbersome, but I suppose it's because I'm just getting the hang of it. Can anyone explain the advantage/disadvantage of using the drum loops for a song versus the drum machine?

Greetings. I own the BR-1600. Haven't had it a long time but I really like it. Still a lot to learn on programming the drums... My problem right now is unwanted noise. I have a Roland RS-50 synth connected to inputs 7 & 8. I can't seem to get a decent volume level without also having a...
