Boss RECORDING pre-owned or demo

	Boss Micro-BR Digital Recorder Details; The World’s Smallest Pro Studio! Meet the ultimate palmtop recording studio. Only slightly larger than an iPod, the tiny-yet-powerful Micro BR is dream for musicians on the go. The Micro BR offers four simultaneous playback tracks (plus 32 V-Tracks), an SD Card slot, onboard multi-effects, built-in rhythm patterns, a tuner, MP3 compatibility, USB, and more. No guitar case or gig bag should be without one! - Ultra portable, only slightly larger than an iPod - 4-track playback, 32 V-Tracks - SD Card slot for recording media, 128MB card included - Multi-effects onboard - Time-Stretch and Center Cancel features - 293 rhythm patterns - MP3 compatible - Built-in tuner and microphone -USB port for data transfer BR in Pocket The Micro BR is so small you can put it in your pocket! It measures just 136.0mm x 81.0 mm x 21.4 mm (5-3/8" x3-3/16" x 7/8"). But even though it’s a shrimp, the Micro BR packs an entire studio worth of features into its tiny case. There are a dozen buttons on its front panel, nine knobs, and even a built-in microphone for quick capture. Four Tracks & More At its core, the Micro BR is a four-track studio with four simultaneous playback tracks and two simultaneous record / input tracks. However, there’s more to this recorder than meets the eye. Each of the four main playback tracks also has eight companion V-Tracks (for a total of 32), so you can record take after take after take, then pick your best material for final mixdown. Drum Machine & Effects Onboard Given the Micro BR’s small size and low price, you might be surprisedto find the next two features onboard: (1) Almost 300 drum patterns are included.Use them for play-along inspiration or even as song foundations. The rhythms don’t consume any of the four playback tracks — they play back independently. (2) A quality multi-effects processor is built into the MICRO BR for enhancing your recordings and for creative experimentation. Amp modeling, compressor, delay... they're all here. And if you want to change the tempo of your MP3 audio without changing pitch (great for phrase training), you can apply the MICRO BR's Time Stretch effect to MP3 or WAV file playback. In addition, MICRO BR's Center Cancel feature can be applied to MP3/ WAV file playback, which helps minimize the vocal or lead-guitar track on pre-recorded songs for play-along style practice or performance. SD Recording There are no moving parts inside the Micro BR. It’s a road-tough, memory-card-based digital recorder. The recording media of choice is the internationally recognized SD (Secure Digital) Card, which can be easily found in electronics shops that sell digital cameras. One tiny SD Card can store your sessions. The included 128MB card, for example, can record approximately 65 minutes of audio with with one mono track selected.

	Boss BR900-CD Digital Recording Studio Details; The Small-but-Mighty Studio with Built-in Burner The BR-900CD the musician's portable dream studio. It's road tough, fun to use, and it performs far beyond its weight class. This reliable all-in-one digital recorder stands out with its professional effects, realistic drum-pattern generator, vocal-correction and Mastering Tool Kit, digital output, and internal CD burner.

	Boss BR1200-CD Digital Recording Studio Details; Versatile, Feature-Packed Portable Studio From guitar pick to compact disc, the BR-1200CD can turn your ideas into radio-quality songs with power and ease.

Correct pitch and add harmonies with the Vocal Tool Box, and for the finishing touch, tap into the Mastering Tool Kit to put a pro-quality polish on your track. Backing Band Built In Another distinguishing feature of the BR-1200CD is its world-class bass and drum programmer, packed with instruments and patterns to suit a variety of styles. Realistic acoustic drums and percussion are included, as well as many electronic sounds to compose modern hybrid type of music. For bass, you can choose from a variety of bass sounds, such as slapped basses, picked basses, and fretless basses. Jam along with the supplied patterns or create your own from scratch. The EZ Compose feature makes ultra-realistic custom programming a snap. There's also a selection of great loop phrases pre-installed on the internal hard drive.

	Like its junior siblings the BR532, BR864 and BR1180, the BR1600CD thus has what you might call a 'streamlined' feature set. Everything has its own dedicated button — none of your shifted functions here. There's no choice of sample rates or bit depths, no monitor mixing, and not much by way of routing options. There's no waveform editing, side-chaining, mix bussing or grouping, nor even a track solo function, and the design encourages recording with effects rather than tinkering at the mix. The drive towards ease of use hasn't just led Boss's designers to make a bonfire of inessential options, however. They have also included some attractive extras such as guitar amp modelling, a drum machine, a bass synth and a loop sequencer, not to mention a selection of hand-holding features designed to make recording faster and more immediate. Overview The BR1600CD is described as a 16-track recorder, although there are a few compromises along the way. The first is that tracks 9/10 to 15/16 are always configured as stereo; the second is that the built-in drum-machine, bass synth, and loop sequencer each take up a stereo track if you use them; and the third is that, unless you want to use a separate two-track recorder, you'll need to keep tracks 9/10 free to bounce your mix to. On the plus side, however, each track has 16 virtual tracks for storing alternate takes and the like. All audio is recorded at 16-bit resolution and 44.1kHz sample rate, with no data compression, and drive capacity is a generous 40GB. Up to eight inputs can be recorded simultaneously, with the socketry on offer consisting of eight XLR mic inputs, eight balanced quarter-inch jack inputs, a high-impedance jack for DI'ing electric guitars and basses, and co-axial S/PDIF I/O. Globally switched phantom power is available for the mic inputs, though it resets to 'off' every time you power the unit down. The output arrangements are rather less impressive: there is only a single stereo output pair, and that emerges on RCA phonos, nobody's favourite connector (although it will suit musicians who are hooking the BR up to a hi-fi, rather than a roomful of studio gear). There are two front-panel quarter-inch headphone sockets with independent volume controls. This is as many as most of the BR1600CD's rivals provide, but still not enough for many band-recording applications, and there's no way to set up a headphone mix that's different from the main mix. You can connect the BR1600CD to your computer via USB, and this allows you to transfer audio files to and from your choice of software MIDI + Audio sequencer or sample editor. The multitracker's drive is seen by the computer as a separate external hard drive.

The multitracker's drive is seen by the computer as a separate external hard drive. Audio data can also enter and leave the BR1600CD via a USB connection to a Mac or PC (an upgrade to version 1.01 of the BR operating system is required for use with OS X), and of course there's the built-in CD rewriter, which fulfils the usual backup and file-transfer functions, as well as writing audio CDs. It's handy to be able to back up BR projects via USB, but transferring WAV or AIFF files between the BR and a computer is no fun at all. They have to be converted to or from the BR's native format, a process which is about as snappy as continental drift, and the BR also takes ages to mount as a USB drive (on a Mac running OS X, at any rate). This might not be so bad, except that you can only import or export one file at a time via USB, so transferring a multitrack project involves dismounting and remounting the BR1600CD for each track. The BR also refused to recognise some of the AIFF files I tried to transfer to it, whether via USB or CD-R. The unit itself is fairly large at 494 x 339 x 99mm, with a robust plastic case, and draws its power from an external line-lump adaptor. All the information is presented on a 130 x 36mm backlit LCD, which is navigated with cursor keys and a data wheel. There are also four function keys and four rotary encoders, which take on different roles depending on what you're doing with them. Each track has a fader and a single button which serves for track selection, record arming and muting. It's all pretty easy to navigate, though I was occasionally confused by the system used to display the function of the assignable buttons. When you're editing a compressor and the screen says 'Link on', for instance, what it actually means is that stereo linking is turned off, but that pressing the button below that message will turn it on. Three-band EQ is available on every track, and there are eight dedicated track compressors; the two sides of each stereo track can be unlinked for independent dynamic and EQ processing. There are also two global send effects, or Loop Effects as the manual describes them, one devoted to reverb and the other to chorus and delay-based effects. Finally, there's a powerful 'floating' insert effects processor that can take on various tasks — you can spread its resources across eight tracks to provide additional compression and EQ, or focus them to provide more sophisticated functions for one or two tracks. The options available include COSM guitar-amp emulation, a Vocal Toolbox pitch corrector and harmony generator, a Mastering Toolkit, and speaker modelling for use with Roland's digital monitors. Getting Started When you call up a new Song, the BR1600CD asks you whether you intend to use the drum machine, bass synth, or loop sequencer, and configures the tracks accordingly. If you do want to avail yourself of these rhythm aids, you'll need to tangle with the BR's Pattern sequencer — see the 'Get Rhythm (And Bass)' box for more detail. If you just want to go straight ahead and record audio, the BR does its best to guide you through the setup procedure. First, you choose one of four input assignment options by pressing the appropriate button. In Guitar/Bass mode, the BR assumes you've plugged your instrument directly into the front-panel quarter-inch jack, and that you want to play and record through the built-in COSM amp modelling and effects. Likewise, Vocal mode is designed to cope with a mic plugged into input two, and automatically places a chain of vocal effects, EQ and dynamics processors in its path. Pressing the Guitar/Bass and Vocal buttons at the same time allows you to use both modes simultaneously. The Multitrack and Stereo Tracks modes make use of all eight inputs, if needed. In Multitrack mode, each input is assigned to the corresponding track, or to its equivalent in the 9-16 bank, while in Stereo Tracks mode, all eight are mixed down to a stereo pair and recorded to the track pair of your choice. In Multitrack mode, the BR's insert effects processor is automatically configured to place a low-cut filter, compressor and EQ across each track (in addition to the dedicated track compression and EQ that's always available). You can choose from various preset settings such as Rock Band, Jazz Band and Multi Drums, but the thinking behind the compressor and EQ settings for the different channels isn't always obvious. The default setting in all the input modes has the insert effects placed in the record path as well as the monitor path, though you can choose to switch them into the monitor path only, into the playback path as conventional mixdown inserts, or off altogether. The usefulness of recording with effects such as (digital) compression and EQ is debatable. On the one hand, it makes recording a more immediate process, which is in keeping with the BR1600CD's raison d'être, and frees up DSP resources at mixdown. On the other, if you overdo things at the tracking stage, there's little you can do to remedy them at the mix, and the preset effects settings that are applied by default might do more harm than good. I also found it a bit odd that neither the insert effects processor nor the dedicated track compressors can provide multi-channel gating.
