Boss Micro BR Digital Recorder

Post by Thom »

So, as I said in my Orange sample, I used the new Boss Micro BR, borrowed from our bass player, which to be fair to it, the internal mic isn't suited to recording a loud amp.

However, I had a bit more of a play with it last night and recorded a song - incredibly easy to use, I put this together in about 45 mins.

I think it's truly great, for ?150, is well worth it - if only to record ideas. And it looks spectacular.

Here's a link to the specs.

And here's the song - I didn't redo any of my mistakes, but you get the picture. And should have mastered it louder, but not bad for a first attempt I think!

I recorded 4 guitar tracks (didn't have time for bass) - guitar plugged straight in and using the onboard effects, and bounced them down to 1, then recorded the vocals using the built in mic. Added a really simple drum beat - this has so much more scope but didn't have time to play around with the fills and stuff.

for live recording, the Zoom H4 kills it with it's stereo condenser mics, and phantom power XLR jacks:

However, the Zoom is around ?220, and not sure what it's like in "4-track" mixing/recording mode.

EDIT: haha my post looks a bit like an advert for Zoom. Really, I've just been GASing over a Zoom H4 for a while. Boss does look nice though (will listen to lamp's demo when i get home!)
