- In this video, we take a look at how to use the "Loop Effects" on the the BR 1600 to add Reverb, Delay, Chorus and Doubling to both recorded tracks and input sources.
really really clear and helpful ! thanks !
You're welcome Manu!
I'm glad it was helpful, and thanks for the comment 👍
Great, great video! VERY helpful. I will watch repeatedly and practice. A few questions, some may be dumb for experienced recorders.
Reverb: Does it make sense to make your reverb setting first and then determine the amount of the track to send to the settings?
Reverb Settings: What is Tone doing? Setting the amount of HF or LF in the sound of the reverb? What is Density doing? I have always wondered what DAMPening means. Is that a HF cut?
And I assume Level is the volume of the Reverb?
When I try to use Delay and Reverb (Echo too), my mixes can get muddy or lack clarity fast and I usually end up choosing one or the other. Is there a general tip on using Delay and Reverb?
Again, great series. Much appreciated.
Thanks Chris!
Reverb 1st, then settings? - not particularly. If you get familiar with the different reverbs that the BR1600 offers, you could use that to pick, but it is just as easy to audition on the fly.
More importantly, it to hear it in the context of the whole song, and not solo'd in isolation.
With regards to the settings - Tone is an EQ adjustment to the overall sound of the reverb, as opposed to the HF Damp control, which only affects the high frequencies.
Low Cut affects just the low frequencies where you can set a cut off frequency. Density is related to the spacing of the reflections in the body of the reverb. Higher density with closer reflections gives a thick sound, much like in an empty room. Lower density gives the reverb a thinner, grainier type sounds like you would have when the sound reflections are broken up by surfaces and objects in a room. Level refers to the overall volume of the reverb returned to the output.
As for settings, I often find that "more is less". As you would do for a vocal, use the Low Cut and reduce all the low frequencies that are inaudible. The same applies to the high end too. You don't want the reverb to overpower your original track, so use the HF damp to reduce them. You will often find that what sits best in a mix sounds thin and grainy when solo'd, but this takes up less room in the mix - especially for things like guitars. Having reverb with too much bass/treble and being too dense, will definitely lead to a mix sounding muddy. Try reducing all 3 in the context of the mix until you can hear a negative result, then just back it off a touch.
Awesome!
Thanks Tony!
Great! Thanks!!!

These videos are terrific. I don't know why but I love my BR1600 and can still record great music on mine.
I have a question, can you do a video on recording with the digital input. I'm pretty sure its only 16bit resolution so that really limits the amount of digital audio you can record... unless its 24bit?
Thanks Mitchell - I appreciate the comments!
Me too, and I totally agree that you can get fantastic result from them.
I haven't done a video on using the digital input, but it will be touched on in the next video which is on syncing two units together (and connecting them via the digital In/Out)
Having a digital In and Out is fantastic and something I use all the time. It's great for trading audio between the BR and a PC/Laptop.
With regards to bit rate, it can be either 16 or 24bit, but must have a sample rate of 44.1kHz.
can you run a guitar input through a pedal before inputting into the boss mic1?
Yes, that's no problem at all. If you plan on using your own effects on the guitar you can use *any* of the 8 inputs.
The only reason for using Input 1 is that it preselects the guitar bank of insert effects. Just change the source to Stereo Tracks or Multitrack and turn the Insert Effects off.
great thanks!@@masteringtoolkit
