Boss BR-800 Digital RecorderPublished on 06/17/12 at 01:23
You should choose your digital recorder wisely because now it seems like the market is just getting over populated with them. The price of this one was a little more than I was ready to pay but after reading some reviews on it and messing around with it , I knew that I had to go and get my own. It did take me almost a year before I could get my own though and since I have got it I use it almost every single day with a question. But not that the price was really that high, I just didn’t know that these type of digital recorders where going for that much so it was a little of a shock to me.

Maybe because its just a good one from Boss and most of the other ones I looked at where very cheap. I am happy with my purchase. Buy it.


UTILIZATION

The manual was definitely needed and I needed it for a while. Not that I couldn’t figure everything out on my own I just didn’t want to because I was too excited and didn’t want to wait to figure it all out. The manual was easy to use and navigate through, it was very clear and concise.


SOUNDS

Sounds are a really good quality and it was exactly what I was looking for.

Very nice as tools

Boss BR-800 Digital RecorderPublished on 11/24/14 at 03:03
(This content has been automatically translated from French)
it is a 4-track capable of playing 8 (ie only 4 recordable tracks).
The connection is not bad, damage qd mm not to be able to plug 2 guitars without adding DI.

UTILIZATION

The use is relatively simple but passage through the manual box was indispensable.
I had until now never tested multi tracks and there are fast on his way.
there are still qq features I have not yet found (just to start the battery after 4 or 8 bars)

SOUNDS

The effects are quite impressive. For a "domestic" use like mine, we get to do many things. Then I think that we should not wait for it so the mm thing that a good tube amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I have not tested many models for the simple reason that I have not found anything really comparable (price / functionality / integration).
It is very unfortunate that the apps are not offered rested on Mac

Surprisingly good

Boss BR-800 Digital RecorderPublished on 11/22/14 at 03:00
(This content has been automatically translated from French)
4 XLR or jack inputs one of which (only) provides phantom power. A jack for foot switch or expression pedal that serves me well my faith. Recording on SD card up to 32GB seems to me. There is a box built but hardly editable pace. The proposed grooves are not bad. Headphone jack. USB plug for dialogue with the computer.

UTILIZATION

The manual I was indispensable. I find easy to use as soon as you accept the presets as they come. I have already said, but editing grooves through the suitable software is simple but VERY off-putting, no editing tool worthy of the name!
Backup pieces on the computer is VERY slow on my PC. You have to be very patient.

SOUNDS

The sounds are transcribed and the equalizer which I have used extensively, is simple and effective. I also use the built-in reverb and scenic. That's pretty much it.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 3 years. I use it often as notebook or recording models. Excellent value for money in my opinion. Main pbs: BAR and backup pieces on the computer.
An example is always more effective than words follow the link below:

https://ilyr.bandcamp.com/releases

these pieces were exclusively recorded, mixed and mastered with the BR-800.
Make your opinion.
Recorded instruments: guitars, bass, live keyboard. Xylophone, glockenspiel, vocals, acoustic guitar, cajon, congas, doumbek through microphones.

I only just bought it so I do not yet control bien.Je back and fill me correct myself later.
The BR-800 is a marvel very accessible, less than 400 euros.
Comes with the computer program is much more interesting than the table itself, and has 64 virtual tracks with choice selections effects for each track. But the effects sound more synthetic than before.
The pre paterns have a real problem with flexibility, feelling.

UTILIZATION

The manual is not enough, both on paper and computer.
