Boss Micro BR-80 Portable Digital Recorder

Built in microphones, multi-track recording, jam along tracks and so much more! The Boss Micro BR-80 Portable Digital Recorder is the ultimate pocket-sized recording and jam-along tool for guitarists and other musicians. The Micro BR-80 is equipped with three modes to create, record, and perform your music: an 8-track Multi-Track Recorder mode; an eBand mode for onstage backing tracks and phrase training; and a Live Rec mode for instantly capturing high-quality stereo recordings. You can even combine the three modes seamlessly with the BR-80. Record your phrase ideas using Live Rec mode, for example, and then import the recordings into Multi Track Recorder mode to use as foundations for song production. Once you’ve added tracks, import your finished songs into eBand mode for backing-track accompaniment at the gig. Musicians of all types can find a use for the Boss Micro BR-80!

In combination with the onboard high-grade stereo condenser microphones, the Micro BR-80’s Live Rec mode lets you capture pristine stereo recordings instantly. Record vocals, guitar parts, and song ideas the moment inspiration strikes. Your recorded audio files can be easily imported into the Micro BR-80’s Multi Track Recorder mode to use as a basis for multi-track song production.

High-Quality Multi FX
The Micro BR-80 is packed with professional multi-effects powered by a newly developed custom DSP chip. Over 40 types of Boss COSM amp models give you instant access to a wide range of powerful guitar and bass sounds. The preset patches allow first-timers and pros alike to enjoy high-quality sounds immediately, while power users can tweak parameters in micro detail for the ultimate tonal control. The dedicated vocal effects, comparable with Boss’s popular VE-20, include doubling, harmony effects, pitch correction, and more.

PC Companion
The ultra-flexible Micro BR-80 can be used as a stand-alone digital recorder or as audio interface for a USB-equipped computer. Cakewalk’s Sonar X1 LE DAW software (for Windows) is bundled with the Micro BR-80, giving users a full-fledged PC-based music production environment with latency-free recording and a powerful range of Boss COSM amps and effects.

Amazing!!!! Best fun in a small package!
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
The bottons and dial feel very well made. The unit is actually mainly made of metal and only uses plastic for doors, faceplate, and accent pieces. Button presses are great...the dial is ok...but I think they could do better with a roller on the horizontal like a mouse wheel but wider with more of a tactle click or notch.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
The backing track sold me first and formost...all the tracks that are found in the E-Band are inside...plus a few I downloaded from the website to teach riffs with backing tracks. The recording is top notch...punching in and editing tracks is waaaay easier than some other portable recorders out there. The multitude of options in this thing is amazing! The built in mics do an excellent job of capturing both you and your guitar. The cool thing is you can monitor through head phones at the same time...so you know exactly what your recording!
Ease of Use
How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be?
Once you read through the manual...it's easy as pie. The interface is well thought out and when searching for songs, backing tracks, and tones...it's file structure is awesome!
Sound
How is its Tone?
Tone is outta this world...lol...I play through a PA for gigs, or a set of headphones and in some cases an iPod dock. Let me tell you...the unit selects a base sound with the track...you can turn this feature on or off...I programmed a few of my own sounds and this thing is no joke. I also own the Boss GT-10...this uses some of the effects and models from this board, and they are identical! Very pleased for something you can stick in a cargo pocket;)
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Just got the thing July 14th...played a few open mic nights and jammed in the hotels. Not enough time on it yet...but I think it will be fine;)
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
Incredible sounds thanks to the COSM models and the effects are very customizable, the backing tracks are great and feel like your jammig with a band...not the old midi garbage. For the money...you can't go wrong
