Exporting from the BR-80 to Your Computer

1. On the BR-80, press the MENU button.

2. Press the cursor buttons to select "FUNCTION" and then press ENTER.

3. Press the cursor buttons to select "USB" and then press ENTER.

4. Turn the dial to select "STORAGE" and then press ENTER twice.

5. Turn off the BR-80's power, and then back on again. The BR-80's USB mode is now set to "Storage."

6. Use a USB cable to connect the BR-80 to your computer.

Note: In the Windows operating system, the BR-80 may appear on your computer with an external drive letter - (For example; E: or F:). You can close any windows that open automatically, but you’ll need to know this drive letter in Step 8 below.

7. 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 it before using it.

8. Once the BR WAV converter program is open, use the Drive menu at the top left of the screen to select the BR-80 drive you identified in Step 6.

9. Select the song you wish to work with from the Song menu.
Green squares appear on a grid that shows you the V-Tracks in your song. The columns (up and down) represent the tracks. The top square in each column is V-Track 1. As an example, the second square down in the first column is Track 1-V2.

10. 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.

11. Click the track(s) you wish to export — their color changes to orange.

Tip: You can also click the "ALL" button to select all tracks for exporting.

12. Click EXPORT at the bottom left-hand corner.

13. Click GO.

14. Select the destination folder. If you’re unsure where to save your exported file(s), choose "DESKTOP."

15. 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.)

That’s it! You’ve converted each exported BR-80 V-Track into a .WAV file you can listen to on your computer, export to your personal music player, burn to a CD, or edit with your favorite software.

16. Quit the BR Wav Converter software by clicking on the "X" in the upper right corner.

17. Stop the connection between the BR-80 and your computer:
