BOSS Br-80 Portable Digital Recorder,Silver

Product Information

It offers a similar range of modelled effects and multitracking facilities, as well as providing a USB computer interface, though it is a little larger and more expensive than the very affordable Micro BR. Onboard are world-class COSM guitar and bass effects, dedicated vocal effects derived from the VE-20 Vocal Performer, and a powerful suite of mastering effects. The rhythms feature top-quality drum and percussion sounds and are organised into patterns designed for use in different song sections.

There is less definition with distortion as there are more overtones created because of the hard clipping. The BR-80 still wins for recording guitar, bass, and vocals… as well as the immediacy/fun factor, but in hindsight, I think its limitations would frustrate, just like they did the last time I owned one. And when adjusting the levels of a stereo pair, it can be tricky to keep both faders exactly in sync so that I don't affect the stereo balance while I'm moving the faders.

Gear4music Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA FRN 706272) and acts as a credit intermediary and not a lender, offering credit products provided by a limited number of finance providers, including Klarna Finanacial Services UK Limited and V12 Retail Finance. The amp models cover a good range, including the classic British class A and British stack sounds, as well as the standard American combo and plenty more models with a bit of crunch, so there should be enough here to suit most styles. My first studio comprised a Teac 3340 four-track open-reel machine, a 12-channel MM mixer, a Great British Spring reverb and a couple of home-made compressors.

If you need your item delivered on a specific day, you can leave a comment in the box at the checkout and we'll take it from there. When you're done, hit Stop, then press Rewind and Stop at the same time to take you back to the start of the song. You could, however, bounce each of the four tracks separately and then convert them to MP3s to achieve the same result in a more long-winded way. Note: This may require an adapter cable (such a "Y" adapter cable with dual mono 1/4" to a single stereo 1/8"--if the outputs of the stereo instrument/device are 1/4"). With a wide dynamic range, these headphones are perfect for studio monitoring, editing or general playback and offer rich, detailed acoustics.It would have been nice to see a function that would allow you to export song projects as complete bunches of track-length MP3 files so you could drop them into your favourite sequencer, but I could find no direct way to do so. As if the BR-80 didn’t already offer enough features packed into its compact case, it also makes a great audio interface for a laptop recording rig. Unused data on the memory card can be freed up using Song Optimise, and songs may be named with up to eight characters. You must be employed at least 16 hours per week, self-employed, retired in receipt of a pension or receiving disability payments.

eBand mode is also excellent for musical training, as it lets you record your performance adjust playback speed and/or pitch. I think I might have to jump back into the BOSS BR Series with the BOSS Micro BR-80, and I think so should you!For mastering, you can select Master mode, set the balance and choose a combination of three-band compression and limiting with variable levels, ratios, thresholds and attack/release times in all three compressor bands to allow useful tonal changes to be made. Industry norms are approximately 70%, so that 15% saving is reducing your energy bill and softening your environmental impact on the planet. To start a project, you must first create a new Song, so, to free up space, I erased the demo song and whatever else was on the card via the Util/Init menu by reformatting the memory card. A feature commonly found in BOSS Multi FX pedals, the COSM sound engine accurately recreates the sound of classic guitar amps, cabinets and effects.
