Magix Fingers « Pleasantly surprised rest conquire »
Published on 01/15/11 at 00:01What follows is not mine but there are a lot of its features for the most meticulous of us.
Courage.
BOSS has earned a notorious reputation in the field of compact and affordable multi-track recorders but quality without compromise. BR-800 further expands the range by providing battery-operated studio. The astonishing thinness of the casing is made possible thanks to the switches tactile sensor and recording to SD card. You can record 4 tracks simultaneously and play 8 tracks simultaneously over a stereo track reserved for the additional generator internal rhythms. The powerful effect processor offers the BR-800 guitar effects and bass from the GT-10/10B, effects for vocals and harmonies from the EV-20 and COSM models of acoustic guitars. The "EZ Recording" guides you through the entire registration process. BR-800 is equipped with a stereo microphone for recording your first song sketches. Wherever you are, you will not lose the fruit of inspiration thanks to the BR-800!

UTILIZATION
The manual is in french but this is pretty much intuitive for those who have already had a digital recorder regardless of the brand (menu to access all or almost play to listen to record rec effect for the guitar rhythm and etc. .. trackwheel to choose here)
For configuration notemment at entrances that we no longer assign the track between guillement ie it should select the input that is 2 or 4 input or sound recording via the 2 Micro BR
Then he puts you on 1 or 2 or 4 tracks at the same time and record all the AC track all departing I took him to put to enjoy the four inputs for a microphone included a synth guitar and an electric Electroacoustic by selecting the entry with the intruder chose and assigned to the track but apparently wanted to be impossible unless Schive and again.
(I hope to be clear because I know what I want to write arched explain but it takes hard)
With regard to the sound of guitar effects and vocals and mastering of these then it sincerely regale quite impressive given the clean and I find that even when the result of mastering is better than the record in the least it does not do that garage studio to make sense of the term.
There are some who will surely have things to say but frankly with all the reviews I've read has made available the videos we finally stopped and we know in our heads so confused because I had a good plan for this product because I got it at 360 € instead of 450 € and I had the old stuff so I took advantage with fear at the beginning and then when it arrived I stayed mouth B its really sincerely the effect well I think everything is intuitive and whimsical touch, but it has the advantage as sensitive but sometimes it's convenient.
SOUNDS
The sound for me I find no fault with any person and fills me in all my projects even crazier neighbors do not complain, yet alone know what the neighbors are the "best judge" in the sense or if it sucks in the sense scrambling to their ears because they do not always understand that noise is the true music, for the coup or no complaints so I play well or very well that he heard the noise I was was actually the music and the music that rings true and everything. ;-D
OVERALL OPINION
For the overall opinion I'm not going to make a sandwich, just that if I would do it over again this choice willingly eyes closed I think this is silly practice easily transportable and made personal for me (but I repeat it is so difficult to choose with as many opinions for and against no one knows in the end it may be necessary to follow his instinct and I am not mistaken) that more properly without overdoing it is surely better but for my projects that I suffices.
All the functions it offers are correct to make a good project to see one or two "album and everything sounds the purpose batteries.
Only downside I would say is that a PC is essential for programming of the battery that is complex at first, then it's easier and nice to have a drummer who follows you and the SD card I add personal One of 8G to be quiet and I'm quiet for very long (I think 68 hours of recording in total)
here is hoping you have help in your research I este available if you have any question and if you got so far I leave you my address on myspace to listen to what the recorder gave the title of the song is "Like" .
