Recording/Playing Back a Song
Quick Start
Adjusting the input sensitivity
When input from GUITAR/BASS/MIC2 or MIC1 is selected,
adjust their input sensitivity with the relevant SENS knob.
fig.00-412a
In order to record at a good sound level, you should adjust the
input levels so that the PEAK indicator lights momentarily
when a guitar is strummed strongly or vocals are sung loudly.
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.

IN:
The level meter shows the input from INPUT.
1–8:
The level meter shows the output of Tracks 1–8.
RHYTHM:
The level meter shows the output of Rhythm.
LR:
The Level meter shows the post-MASTER fader output level.
When monitoring the sound with headphones, use the
MASTER fader to adjust the volume to the level you desire.
(5) Using Insert Effects
The BR-900CD comes with five onboard effects processors:
an insert effect, loop effects, track EQ, pitch correction 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-
900CD, 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. 43)
Switch effect patches
The BR-900CD 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-900CD allows you to automatically select the
most suitable “banks” by pressing an INPUT SELECT
button.
For example, pressing the [GUITAR/BASS/MIC2]
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.
