I received it today. This is my first digital multitrack (out of my software) Take some precautions when installing the driver first with PC.Ne especially not move files Boss.Ne not use splitters USB.Il told me "being installed" when it was already installed (the driver) then it is (almost) a breeze.

Contrary to what has been said, you can cut the internal mics and "recorder" a line in external simply lowering the wheel "record".
Pc file as read on the Boss import the sound is excellent even in mp3.
Quality of its internal mics: very very good exept a small bump to 10-13kHz if it is too close to the mic's not bad, can catch up.
Breath internal mics = very poor when good settings.
Headphone power: too low for me, but I knew it before ... It's not typical Boss is portable and should not consume too much battery, I think about it.

Portability side: excellent! Finally two sides are coated without buttons or her hand without risking any adjustment.
Quality buttons: at first I was afraid, 2 button did not "click" by pressing it and finally it runs well, including wheel: still not over grind, it is small.

Access menus: at the beginning, we try a little, we read the manual, then enters the philosophy Boss finally we understand how it works: "two fingers in the noise." So no worries navigation not need be captain.
The look: I love and I love it. Saying there are the biggest who do not ... more
I said 10 tracks, because 8 mono + stereo internal rhythm box = 10.
Many mastering effect, plenty of choice of rhythm, bass-midle-treble/reverbe track, short "the little monster handsome as an angel" is complet.Il are tracks, virtual, the bounce, we can free tracks: Just remember manipulation ...
The price may seem expensive, but thinking there are others that are no more (and sometimes less) in a larger size, so less portable.

Finally, it is too "core", there is a hidden genius in its 114.75 cm ² and I suffer for him (engineering), there is not much space. Course, I hesitate for a second to take the Boss BR 80 portatif.Reste material to make me hand over yet, because the possibilities are inversely as large as its size tends "liliputienne." Congratulations Boss and Roland, because there are programs (algorithms) Roland inside: the Genius!
