How many tracks can I record at the same time?
Two. You can record the built in microphone and the guitar dedicated input at the same time. No other input combination is possible. It is possible to record all the inputs in stereo/double mono (two tracks) even if the input is in fact mono.
How do I program the drum? Is it possible to program the patterns?
Programming the drums is made by arranging the built-in drum patterns with a specific order, eg: Rock Verse 1 x 3 - Rock Fill 1 x 1 - Rock Verse 2 x 3, etc.... The patterns themselves are not editable. To create a simple drum sequence go here.
Which microphones can I use with Micro BR? All of them? Does Micro BR supports phantom power?
Yes, if you are using a Dynamic Cardiod Microphone (the normal type of microphone) or phantom powered condenser microphones you have to use a preamp to amplify and convert the inpedance of the signal as well as to power the condenser microphone because Micro BR doesn't support phantom power. Then you just have to plug the output of the preamp in the Micro BR Line in. If you are using an electret microphone you can plug it in the Line Input directly without a power source because Micro BR supports the plug-in power.
DO I have Multitrack in Mp3 mode?
No, it is not possible to do multitrack or track editing. Just record and play.
