Boss BR-800 portable digital recorder
Product no: ROL-BR-800 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

When it comes to portable, affordable multi-track recorders, Boss is obviously in charge. The BR-800 - a battery-powered studio for on-the-road applications - is a good example. This stylish recorder is equipped with pressure-sensitive switches and SD card storage media, and lets you record up to four simultaneous tracks, while allowing for simultaneous playback of up to eight tracks. As if that's not enough, there's another stereo track especially for its built-in rhythm generator.

The BR-800 is equipped with a powerful built-in effect processor that offers GT-10/10B effects, as well VE-20 vocal effects and harmonies, and COSM-based acoustic guitar body modelling. An AZ recording feature takes you through the recording process interactively, and the BR-800's built-in stereo microphone makes it possible to make direct Song Sketch recordings. Take the Boss BR-800 with you wherever you go, and you'll never have to waste your musical inspiration.

Ik heb sinds enkele jaren dit apparaat in mijn bezit. het is een veelzijdig apparaat. zowel zaken goed kunnen opnemen, als een mooi effect toevoegen, deinst dit apparaat niet voor terug. Er zit een loopfunctie op die ik niet volledig begrijp. maar je kan niet alles hebben. maar voor deze prijs zeer veel mogelijkheden. 8 sporen kunnen opnemen, (exclusief de drumtrack) prachtige effecten voor zowel de zang en gitaar en een zeer eenvoudige bediening. zelf hou ik niet zo veel van touchscreen bediening en zet dit apparaat niet in voor opname maar voor de effecten. Al met al een zeer goede prijs / kwaliteitsverhouding. en ik was bijna vergeten te benoemen dat het een midi interface is, zodat je met de boss je DAW kan bedienen. top product.

Dit is een geweldig veelzijdig apparaat voor een naar verhouding extreem lage prijs! Grootste voordelen: ingebouwde gitaar/bas effecten, ook voor zang! Zelf geen basgitaar? Geen probleem met het gitaar naar bas effect. Alle effecten zijn naar believen aan te passen en in een usergeheugen te plaatsen. Ingebouwde drummer met vele ritmes, fill ins en ends. Alles ook programmeerbaar (ook op je computer via de usb aansluiting en bijgeleverde software) Vele extras als een tuner, EZ-recording, punch in out, voetschakelaar-aansluiting, mastering tool, 8 virtuele sporen per kanaal en opname op SD kaarten (tot32GB). PHRase trainer, line in enz. Twee ingebouwde condensatormikes, 4 sporen tegelijkertijd opnemen. Voeding dmv AA batterijen, usb of netvoeding (bijgeleverd). Zeer compleet!

Ik heb deze recorder nu al een zestal maanden in mijn bezit en ik heb zeker niet te klagen over dit fantastische product.

De BR-800 wordt gebruikt in mijn muziekkeldertje en staat daar ideaal op zijn plaats.
De ez opname functie is enorm handig. Heb je plots een leuk deuntje in je hoofd of een reeks leuke akkoorden, je speelt het in op je recorder en je kan er heel eenvoudig verder over heen spelen.
Wat ook heel erg handig kan zijn is de geïntegreerde bassimulator zodat, wanneer je even geen zin hebt om je basgitaar boven te halen of je hebt er gewoon geen, je gewoon het juiste effect kan kiezen en je bent gelanceerd.

Het enige minpunt dat ik heb bij dit geweldig toestel is dat het geleverd wordt met SONAR 8.5 LE software. Ik vind persoonlijk de geleverde software heel erg gebruiksonvriendelijk maar na lang zoeken en er wat ervaring mee opgedaan te hebben werken de software en de hardware ideaal samen.

mvg,
