Exporting from the BR-800 to Your Computer
- Connect a USB cable between the computer and the BR-800.
- On the BR-800, press the MENU button.
- Cursor to "USB," and then press ENTER.
- Cursor to "WAV CONVERTER," and then press ENTER twice—after a few moments, the BR-800 appears as an external drive on your computer.
Note: On Windows, the BR-800 may appear on your computer with an external drive letter (ie: E: or F:). You can close any windows that open automatically, but you’ll need to know this drive letter in Step 6 below. - Launch the BR WAV converter software by double clicking the "BRWC" icon on your computer.
Note: The BRWC software is provided as a .zip or .sit file you'll need to extract before using. - Once the BR WAV converter program is open, use the Drive menu to select the BR-800 drive you identified in Step 4.
- Select the song you wish to work with from the Song menu.
Note: Green squares appear on a grid that shows you the V-Tracks in your song.
The horizontal columns—from left to right—represent the Tracks:
The vertical columns—from top to bottom—represent the V.Tracks:
For example: Each of the green squares in the image above represents V-Track 1 for each Track 1 through Track 8. - If you wish to export an odd/even pair of tracks in stereo, link them by clicking the L/R button at the bottom of their column. For example: If you mastered your song to TR78-VMST, you would click the L/R button on the bottom of Columns 7 and 8.
- Click the track(s) you wish to export—they change to orange.
Tip: You can also click the ALL button to select all tracks for exporting. - Click EXPORT and then click GO.
- Select the destination folder. If you’re unsure where to save your exported file(s), choose "DESKTOP."
- Type a file name of your choice into the FILENAME box, and then click SAVE. (If you're exporting multiple V-Tracks, they'll share this name in addition to their individual track and V-Track numbers.)
Your BR-800 V-Tracks have been converted into .WAV files and are now on your computer’s desktop. - Quit the BR Wav Converter software. On the BR-800, press EXIT, and then ENTER to safely eject the recorder from your computer.
