Have you ever wished that you could fit an entire recording studio in your pocket and take it everywhere with you..? Check out the amazing new Boss Micro BR BR-80
The new Boss Micro BR BR-80 is a remarkably ambitious project, even by Boss standards. This tiny unit is no bigger than a paperback novel but it contains all of the most important effects and features that you need to produce high quality recordings. This compact little workstation operates in three different recording modes, making it incredibly versatile: Live Rec mode turns the Micro BR BR-80 into a portable field recorder. Imagine you are camping out at a festival or just sitting at home with your guitar and a song idea floats by. What do you do? Just hit the ‘Record’ button and the Micro BR-80’s built in stereo condenser microphones will capture the moment in all its spontaneity. OK, so you’ve successfully captured your idea for your next song, what now? You can import your demo into the Micro BR-80’s digital multi-track recorder and start building up the song using the BR’s massive library of COSM effects which are helpfully arranged into separate patches according to their musical style, making it easy to nail the perfect tone straight off the bat with no tedious scrolling through menus.
Recording studio, phrase trainer, mobile recorder… the Boss Micro BR BR-80 does it all!
Finished tracks can then be imported into the BR’s eBand mode, which transforms this pocket-sized powerhouse into a phrase trainer that can slow down the tempo and even alter the key of audio tracks, making it easier to nail those speedy licks by your favourite guitar players! The USB connection imports MP3s and you can even record yourself jamming along with a prerecorded song! The Boss BR-80 Micro BR is an incredible one-stop-shop that lets you make your music whenever and wherever you like. PM
