All user reviews for the Boss Micro BR Digital Recorder

See my general opinion on this product. One word comes to me VERY FRAGILE FRAGILE
The rest is still a beautiful animal

Should get started but if you buy should be able to read and tweak a little.

Excellent MP3 idle except crying. A review

I bought this little wonder in February.
2 hours of use and Ottoman circuit course and what a smell! Oh My!
I was changing and the same punishment is three months same reason. I doubt Lechang be done again and the builder admits the fragility of its product. Who among us has not on his console on his desk or other music desk a piece of metal lying around? The first who does not cast the first stone. Conclusion how a product so well thought potégé is it not?? For € 220 they could have a stretch of the imagination and at least put a fuse. Dombjo

Hello,

For all that connectivity, effects, etc ... See other posts ...

The handling of the device is very simple. Everything is well thought out and easy to ACCS. It can be used quickly and deepen by reading the manual is in French prcis, concise and well RALIS.

The sound (for a Fender guitar electric type) is very well respected over the effects are sufficient and have a lot of rglages.

The quality for the effects is to appointment.

Gnrale dynamics of a recording is broadcast.

I use it for a few days. Its main advantage (besides the good quality sound) is in its weight (trslger) and size (you can drag it anywhere!). We must be careful against by the falls seen light weight! (By pulling the plug guitar for example).

It's a great tool to work his instrument, record the model

For less than 200 euros is not hsiter .... and I would do without this choice problem!

I recorded a song "test" with the device that you can listen at: www.myspace.com / blueshop "ending for Free". It is a piece that uses 4 tracks (3 tracks guitar and harmonica track) and the pace of the unit box.

CHARACTERISTICS on, everything said or almost does, then I suggest you refer to the documentation provided (in French with the right dealers, it is an obligation LGAL). The manual is a little "mess", and it lacks a quick reference guide for each operation (I'm rgler this problem, in Excel format). It only remains for me that the paper publish a Manir or another.

Cot connection is fairly complete, but everything is small (3.5 mm) than the 6.35 standard guitar input. USB is the same in small format, and the cable is not provided.

The machine supports native recording in MP3 and WAV 24bit / 44Khz (these are recurring questions on the forums), can record two channels simultaneously and to have read four of the 32 available Max.
It can export track is track is the complete song via USB.
Storage is done on SD, max 1GB (2GB some work but only 1GB is available apparently).
For sync, simply record a sync track on a virtual track and you're jou.Pas noon unfortunately, but anything is possible if your sequencer knows gnrer track sync.

For the PSU, I recommend the use of PSA is rgule Boss, as some people seem to have had power supplies with gnriques bp (and then for 23 euros it costs ..)

The use of the machine is fairly simple, but some abbrviations or functions are not intuitive trs. The edition of drum tracks is a good example.
The simple functions are often not easy or difficult ACCS mmoriser certainly blame the lack of buttons.
In fact this device would be perfect with a wheel "dial" and a bigger screen and more graphics. Personal I prfr it costs 50 or 60 euros more but with this equipment, because sometimes you lose time because of the ergonomics.
has come with the usual I guess.
The manual is not well trs rdig as I said above should be a quick REFERENCE opration for each current. For example you must know that to finish a song in the editor should insert a rhythm pattern 327. I had it on the forums looking for this info, when it would seem logical that this should be prominently displayed in the manual (p84 is written ... in the depths of a topic)
Micro BR is a good machine, but the interface is not its strong point.

Cot sounds, however, and next to the price, trs respectable. Of course there is no top-level sounds, but for those who have tried to register itself dja a guitar with a microphone in front of an amp, you will agree that it is easier to plug in a micro scratches that BR rgler the position of the microphone and make levels for 1 hour ...

APRS for the purists, nothing prevents you from doing it on the BR, with a mic / line input.
It is regrettable, however, the presence of too rverb brand of guitar in the patches, but is easily corrected.
I confess I had not tried before to take it, and I feared some are discovering that pramps distos rotten or a little cheap.
In fact the sound is as good as a Korg Pandora, just a little less bright maybe, but good trs at least for this price range.

The BR is very quiet, does not color the sound and complies with the timbre of the guitars. I have not tried the microphone Intgr.

The Micro BR is a very good 4-track recorder in its price range it offers plthore of features that make it a companion for IDAL scratch nomadic
We can go on holiday with a scraper, 2 or 3 SD cards 10 euros, its MP3 backtracks on, a mini headphone jack and nothing more, was enough to train without Dranger others.
Cot record, despite a quality of sound very convincing, it is pnalis its ergonomics and size of the screen. agne still a little taken for its spontaneous rflchissant navigate through menus and submenus. it remains an investment of a very good report quality / price, I re-signed free hsiter.
Mr Boss, let us his brother with a MIDI sequencer basic (style from that of MV30), a wheel dial and a screen worthy of the name and you will have laid the ultimate tool of guitarist (but not 400 euros instead .. .)!

Those who seek only the recording feature without the need of a guitarist, will turn may be to the Zoom H4 or H2, which are good competitors in this little wonder.

A stereo line input with phantom power supply (2.5V) for compact condenser microphone

Suport the SD Card is a simple camera (supplied with one of 128mega)
It suporte 4piste Relese and 32 by counting the tracks virtual someil
Simple and complete most cases what!

The use requires a manual adjustment period in hand (in French and trs well done). It must be said that all functions are accesible via 21 buttons so there're a lot of multi-function but it does the trick quickly and ultimately, it's pretty simple condition not to be alergies textbooks)

The converter is good (it's roland ...) and the effect is realistic (it's short ...), Boss, sounded pretty good all things, well, there have not Hundreds of effects, but the panel about covers the use of a classical guitarist of any style, which is cool!

Ben for the price (200euros) will have nothing to say, you just keep in mind that (at least for me) this little device is a kind of notebook travel that can be useful to record a demo when you have means but can not apply in any way a real home studio but it's not what I asked and I do it again this choice without hesitation!

PS: The microphone is enormous, pos in the middle of the room to repeat them hereunder any good, terrible work!

T says it all

Contrary to what some have said the product is fairly intuitive. You just spend some time reading the manual capture the history of major functions.
The manual is clear trs, no worries at this level l.

The sound is REALLY clean, no complaints the top.
I t enjoyable surprised that it has no microphone that are really nickel.
All effeets are interesting, it is extensible, there's something to have fun for those who like to tinker a bit.

I reu the bte dja today and I spent a few hours fiddling the buttons.

The pros: The quality of his
Ergonomics
The Aesthetics
The fonctionnalitbr /> Congestion

The -: The battery life
The fragilitbr /> The adapter not included

For the quality product I can not find the price excssif, the question remains whether the time will mfaits on electronics.

At the moment I do not regret my choice, on the contrary.
If I change my mind, I would know.

I put the score of 9 as I have not given enough back to get an objective opinion.
Subjectively, I metterais 10

The configuration is fairly simple. It takes a little play with the beginners bte to make its mark but once read the manual, trs cell becomes intuitive. For my part, I had ordered from thomann and I reu manual in English and only English. I am not yet master the language, especially technical terms, is when even a manual. Fortunately, these gents are available at Boss in a little while prs rcents manuals in several languages, on their website. The manual is quite clear, there is sometimes an explanation a little heavy but what do you want, it's all these new technologies eh ...

In terms of accsibilit of the machine, I find it rather good, it's true that there are little touches but it's not a big console so should not complain.

So that's the hurt ... The sound of this little thing is just this amazing grace poustouflant internal microphone and mini STREO provided with, at Thomann.

I wanted this device to save my little composed and capture RPTES of my group. For my little composed at home, I record them directly into the jack with the guitar and then with the internal microphone. For RPTES sound a bit saturated with the internal mic but against the Stereo mini, nothing is perfect for RPTES. Is recorded immediately, was passed by a sound amplifiers, we all sit down and hop on cost and amazing how much claret there are all instrumentals. Since I have this camera has really evolve to aid in the group.

The effects of the recorder is pretty good, you'd really have a small multi-effect of good quality. For me that is not yet provided a set of pedals trs, I enjoyed myself so much at beginners with all its new effects, but we quickly n'utuliser some.

I have the machine for a little prs two months and I am delighted with my purchase compltement and my choice for it. Thanks to him, I made some more and I record everything I do. We amme utuliser the unit to record a small acoustic set with my singer and it has one of our songs on our myspace.

I love everything about this little jewelry. The report qualitprix is ​​excellent, the purchase is worth it.

Now I would not be nothing without my little boss br. I showed my camera all musicians and music lovers I know and they REALLY t bluff by the capabilities of the latter.

Finally know that I have no boss at work, I just tried to be the most honnte possible. When I do not like, I Do not hesitate to say it but the I am really happy with this machine.

- How long have you use it?
For 6 months.

- What is so special that you like most and least?
Its major advantage over its competitors is its format. Amazing, barely larger than a cell phone. So, as it runs on battery, one little scratch on his couch with the QB's lap while watching TV madame. In short a true revolution in how to work his instrument.

Its main drawback is the grip. It is completely unrealistic to seek to use the machine without having read the manual. With a little patient used to it, but some functions require pressing 4-5 buttons in the correct order.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I just did not unpack the competitors to the seller and I quickly see the difference in size, power and obligation to ask the other on a table or desk.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
The report is very good because the Micro BR is very comprehensive: drum machine, multi effects (very low quality, but in the present), editing capabilities, integrated microphone, etc. ....

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Without hesitation because only with the "on your lap" where "hanging from the belt" (cover with snap optional)

Nice connection, though, at the beginning by using an external microphone, it is easy to get wrong direction! In my case, I made a small mark with nail polish over the microphone.

With a 1GB card: it is the comfort! (Shame we can not use more, and finally at least in my case, I never managed, it seems that some have used a 2 GB ..)

If "digest" the manual: everything is going fairly well. But the small amount of function keys leads to a menu structure quite heavy at first. ID: functions that are used not every day can be difficult to find.

The effects are decent, but there is the real Boss pedals for that either!?
as to edit and store its own effects: a bit of a chore anyway.
One thing also, when creating a new "song", the effect must be set again.

Export to MP3 is a nice feature, but "capping" as => I use (for music) and I record the line output to wav (for dynamic).

Something that would be helpful: an app to read and edit directly on the computer files. Bro! (Frustrating pending)

I use my micro BR for almost a year for three purposes: 1) I chronicle for radio => it is as good as the material "official" and is usual in my pocket and unlike other! Coupled with a Sony stereo microphone (if you do not forget to feed it by selecting the external power supply on the menus of the Boss), the quality is quite satisfactory. 2) I record sound sequences (sound effects, etc..) To illustrate the work or media websites. Again portability is essential. 3) As a musician (guitarist & blues picking), the Micro BR offers me a very nice range of effects (although I prefer the "real" Boss pedals) and, above all, the possibility of very useful editing to develop. The cattle do not remain "forgotten" and it is still a respectable quality, learn from them the next day.

Weaknesses: Oh! batteries ... (I always have a supply with me), the menus a bit complex (on the other hand, given the size, there is no room for more buttons!), The drum machine (sorry there but it "sucks").

Finally, at this price point you have a workhorse and not so fragile that (I "crust" on assignment with => it still works!). The huge advantage: it can be permanently so without risking lumbago!

Everything a guitarist needs mopping.
Jack's input and output line and even a micro Intgr.
A convenient USB port to store Backing Tracks.
SD card storage (Do not hesitate to upgrade, the 256 is a little book with lge)

Sometimes a little complicated. Some buttons have shortcuts t welcome.

The manual is clear trs (even in English)

On the synchro, "Do It Yourself!" ... If you have a PC on your drum track and bass track and you want to put both in the machine, mix the first!

It's amazing all that can be done with this little toy.
I use to play the backing tracks with headphones (to avoid Dranger of the neighbors).

Taping it to have this level of quality on such a small device!

One regret: The edition guitar sound is not at the top and it is not possible to create new presets (you have rcrire old). One would be able to load AIM patches from the USB connection.

Used for 2 months.
I'm mainly used for backing tracks and play with headphones.

However, registration trs works well.

Another fawn of Utilia, you can record your guitar with no effects, and replay the song directly no effect on your gear in order to rgler good sound directly.

This little device is just wonderful!
I have been using for over a year, and I'm still satisfied!
The aspect "buttons under menus" repelled me a little beginners (I am accustomed the plutt analog), but finally the interface is not so bad ... tudie
For those who have the habit of recording hardware and terms utiliss in this area (in English), they will have no problem using micro br without notice, although I recommend have door to hand them rfrer if necessary.

The possibilities of this little machine is thunderous! Player 4 tracks (two simultaneous recording) + slope box rhythm, rhythm box based on modlisations Roland sounds are ralistes certainly never replace a drummer, but to mock travel or before bedtime, has more than enough, especially since it is programmable!
Br embarks on a multi-effect also gives a full trs large variety of sounds to the instruments, and many are available for paramtres Intgr microphone or mic and line inputs. The multi-effect can also do a little mastering to complete registration.
Note also feature a "bounce" to merge the four tracks if not enough for you, but in this case, the use becomes a bit more dlicate. at the tracks, note that each track offers the possibility to register 8 virtual tracks!
A apprcier also the auto punch to correct a very practical bread or an unsatisfactory way ... I regret only the absence of a function to mark mmoriser points (there are all the same function A / B but it's pretty limited.)

Storage record in mp3 or WMA files on SD card, I recommend to acqurir a 1 GB, because that provided the original is a bit lgre level memory.

There are still many things to say on this unit, and lots of other features dcrire, but I can not m'terniser! If only to remind us that everything is in a format not much bigger than our good old walkman K7, we used a few years ago, and the device, even if Designed to be not scale the roof of a building is even stronger when he looks ...

Qualitprix Excellent!

I use the Boss Micro BR for 3 months.
I did not expect for the price as well!
It is small, so easy to store. Probably so weak to care.

I have not tried other models because I wanted to get into the home studio on a budget. It easily performs this function! I intended to use it only for recording guitar / vocals and finally I made with the total (electronic drums, keyboard, etc.).

It is possible to extract each track in mp3 or wave, to put them on his pc. Thus, it is no longer limited to 4 tracks, but all you want.
The virtual tracks (8 on each track real) can re-record and then combine the tracks as you want.
Can be mastered entirely in the micro BR but I prefer to do it with software on pc.

We can hook up all over: guitars, microphones, electronic drums, etc..

The internal microphone helps out, but is not great: no one recognizes your voice.

You can also use the MICRO BR as a tuner or as mp3 player, with a slowdown in the effort to track and learn to play a song.

Drum kits are also included (I have not used).
Many guitar effects are integrated. They are generally very good.

The set is fairly easy to use because the functions are well thought out and intuitive. However, as this little device can do a lot of things, I am sometimes a bit lost (including how to manage the effects).

The card comes with is sufficient if the household regularly.

In short, for that price, a well deserved 10/10!

- How long have you use it?

For 4 days.

- What is so special that you like most and least?

It is super comprehensive, quality I like is its versatility.

At least what I like, I would say that sometimes it is not practical to repeatedly press a button while with other studios were just turning a knob but the price for its compactness.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Try not but it is clear that I made the rounds of competition, I hesitated between a Zoom mrs 8, Tascam DP-004 and the Boss. The tascam that just came out looked very interesting with these two mics, but it did not suit me as not quite complete (no drum, no built-in effects ...). Zoom is nice but I have decided it was the Boss.

- How would you rate the quality / price?

Excellent, I bought 256 dollars in Canada is 150 euros.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Sure amigo ...

For about one month I use this machine with the Devil
the peculiarities I like most are: simplicity of operation APRS have read the instructions and complte Retailer can be a max hack ah yeah the sound bouncing when the tracks are infinis.ENORME.le sound is excellent rhythm section is aussi.la gniale by understanding the steps in against limits are 50.en ultimately is very complete as well as device and there is a small tui moleskin.
that I like least: Mssieu is battery hungry, so prvoir a battery pack for nomade.m 'crazy in the moment I am but I did not even essay.
I have tried any MODEL before seen live or to do at least 200 Km A / R, so user reviews and comparisons. the Zoom H2 and H4 taient also in the spotlight but I trusted my instinct and the brand and I was right.
mini mini but he did everything.
it's clear I could not do spare and I would do without this choice hsitation.mais why I waited so long to buy one?
