The BR-600 can record two sources simultannément while reading six others.
In short, it has 8 tracks including 2 record mode can be

In terms of connectivity, it is possible to plug in jack, a mini jack.
Output, jack, RCA and USB.

The USB connection is managed rather special, it does not control the BR-600 is quite the opposite.

The suport used is the Compact Flash card.
I got a 1GB card, no worries.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is fairly simple, the menus remain consistent regardless of the function.

We can quickly use the beast, the manual begins with a QuickStart very well done.
The rest of the manual is revealed gradually as and when required.
The explanations are both clear and very specific (each menu and each manipulation is detailed)

Otherwise, it is still possible to learn here

SOUNDS

For the time (two weeks) all seemed very balanced and consistent.

The huge plus is the built-in microphones and associated presets.
I was able to make the song just whispered to my son just shy a few days later, taking a very rock rehearsal.

The result is more than satisfactory, I was expecting to have to juggle two microphones and then taken to making instrument by instrument.
It remains the best option for a more paufiné, but at this stage, I was looking especially the speed of decision / publication to move fast in the exploration of concert dates.

The only thing I would have presets for the bass I have not found anything that suits me really.
I ended up playing with a preset guitar very clean.
I still need to test the ability to record my bass without effect in dry, but the result for me already.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks and it is for the moment with what I had in mind.

I used to map a Edirol FA101 but honestly, I spent more time in the interfaces in the computer problems ... in music.

The BR-600 certainly offers fewer opportunities to start, than in / out ... but he has already come twice in rehearsal

I had traveled much of fr.audiofanzine.com and I opted for the BR-600 for two more:
- The built-in microphones.
- Battery power possible.

For the first point, I am extremely satisfied, the rendering is amazing for these two simple things;)
For battery power, I have not tested too but the batteries seem to drain as j'utilisent too quickly ... Stay tuned on that.

As for the USB, there is the minimum functionality: import / export of settings, from noon to BAR, audio tracks.
This aspect of the BR-600 is significantly behind in terms of ergonomics: Always carry a small series of manipulations, then we get the result on the PC.
A direct flight would have seemed better.
The performance of the BR-600 may be related to the proprietary format but suddenly there is always a conversion phase a bit long.

But I still got my other order made without a little bit of heaviness ergonomic quickly you get used to work quickly

In the end, I loved:
- The overall simplicity
- The quality of the mic

I liked:
- A range of presets guitar / mic and sound
- Ergonomics suited

I did not like:
- Presets low (but adjustable, so good)
- The use of USB rather limited and repetitive tasks related

However, I would put 10/10 in global opinion, it's still the only note played or subjective as well.
There is a perfect match between my current needs and the product, so ... musician happy!
