Adjusting doubling
In situations where professional engineers want to make a
strummed guitar performance sound equally present on both
the left and right speakers, they generally use a technique
called doubling. Specifically, this involves recording the
same performance twice on different tracks and then
panning one of the tracks to the left and the other to the right.
The BR-1600CD provides you with a doubling-type send
effect that allows you to achieve the same effect without
having to make two separate recordings. And since this
makes it possible to apply doubling even to single-track
mono performances, you can make more effective use of
your available tracks.
This type of doubling is achieved by copying the original
sound (or direct sound), panning the copied sound away
from the original sound, and playing back both of these
with the copied sound delayed slightly, thus creating a
pseudo-stereo sound. When using this effect, therefore,
you will need to pan the playback track to either the left
or the right. The copied sound will then be played with a
short delay on the opposite side. Doubling will have no
effect if the track pan is set to the center, and the
appropriate care should be taken.
1. Before you start, pan the track to be doubled to the left
or right.

Operation; p. 46)
2. Press [CHORUS/DELAY].
The Chorus/Delay Send screen will appear.

3. Move the cursor to the track to be doubled and select a
send level using the TIME/VALUE dial.
You can also select a track by pressing its track button. In
order to make the effect of doubling clearly audible, it is
advisable to initially set the send level to 100. You will
then be able to make a new setting while listening to the
playback.
Pressing [F3] (MIN) at this time sets the doubling send level
to the minimum value (0). Conversely, pressing [F4] (MAX)
sets the doubling send level to the maximum value (100).
4. Press [F2] (EDIT).
The Chorus/Delay Edit screen will appear.

5. Move the cursor to the parameter that you want to change
and select a new setting using the TIME/VALUE dial.
You will be able to hear how your new settings change
the doubling sound.
TYPE
DOUBLING
This parameter selects the type of effect. Be sure to set this to
DOUBLING here.
DELAY TIME
0.5–50.0 ms (Default: 17.0 ms)
This parameter adjusts the delay time (i.e., the interval over
which sound is delayed).
LEVEL
0–100 (Default: 50)
This parameter adjusts the volume of the delayed sound.
If [F4] (DEFAULT) is pressed, the selected parameter is
set to the default value marked above.
If the delay time is too short, the left and right sides of the
doubled track will begin to sound identical, producing a
thicker version of the original sound. On the other hand, if
the delay time is too long, the left and right sides will stand
out too much and will sound like two separate performances.
6. Press [EXIT/NO] several times to return to the top screen.
7. Press [PLAY] to start playback.
Doubling will now be applied to the track’s playback.
8. If you wish to store the modified settings, save the
current song (p. 72).
Only one set of delay settings can be saved per song.
Only one set of doubling settings can be saved per song.
