Jahstix,

Another note,

Any volume/panning changes you mak will appear in the final MP3, so you can use this to change panning/fade in/fade out. What you can’t do is change V tracks.

Brendan,

I think this is the fault of dodgy SD cards, as this seems to happen if the song data get corrupted. Either keep a note of the BPM and the drum rythm and change it back, or transfer the song to your PC and use a new card. My basic experience is that really cheap generic brands of cards always go wrong. Never touch Tesco or Boots cards.

Jahstix.

Go to the beginning of your song,

Press exit and utility twice until “Mastering appears”

Play the song and adjust level until you’re happy (Note: make sure master level doesn’t hit the top, as this will distort the final track), then hit:

Record and then play.

This will master song, at the end you can name it, and then export as MP3. Make sure you have loads of batteries in, as the export can take 10 mins or so.

Hope this helps

Jim,

I reckon the BR file structure is quite inflexible – any attempt to change a song name on the PC messes it up badly – my experience is the name change function is only for changing a song name at user lever rather than file level. Interested to hear if anyone ever got that to work.

On the data cards, we’re trying superfast secure data cards, rather than the normal one. I’ll pass on any info I find.

For those interested, I learned from the yahoo group that you can record guitar and vocals at the same time. When you select input, press guitar and mic at the same time. The input will be summed though so you have to set your levels accordingly or sing softer or something. I haven’t tried it myself cuz I’m not really a singer. This trick isn’t in the manual.

i have a br. when i change the file name on the br it does not change the name when i backup to my pc. it saves the name as SONG0001 or such. is my machine broken or is this a “flaw” with the br? likewise, when i change the filename on my pc, even if 8 characters, it doesn’t recognize it on my br.

any help, comments would be appreciated.

thanks,
jim…

Anyone having trouble with data cards? We seem to be getting a lot of drive busy messages and spoiled tracks. Any ideas?

Hi,

What a great blog. I’ve had a BR for about 4 weeks and am doing a colloborative project with someone else where we send SD cards by post. We’ve run into a problem, with cheaper SD cards, once the card gets 50% full, an error message comes up saying card busy and from this point the tracks seem to go out of phase, and the song can have nothing more added to it.

Could this be because I’ve been pulling track data off one card and onto another, by dragging and dropping from the Roland folder on to a mac and back again, or is it to do with cheap cards?
