Small enough to fit in your pocket, the BOSS MICRO BR BR-80 is the
ultimate new portable recording and jam-along tool for guitarists and
other musicians. It’s equipped with three modes to create, record, and
perform your music: an eight-track MTR (Multi-Track Recorder) mode; an
eBand mode for onstage backing tracks and phrase training; and a Live
Rec mode for instantly capturing high-quality stereo recordings. You can
even combine the three modes seamlessly. Record your phrase ideas using
Live Rec mode, for example, and then import the recordings into MTR
mode to use as foundations for song production. Once you’ve added
tracks, import your finished songs into eBand mode for backing-track
accompaniment at the gig. The BR-80 is truly a must-have for all
musicians!

The Complete Studio To Go

(Multi-Track Recorder) mode offers 64 V-Tracks with eight simultaneous
playback tracks. In addition, a dedicated stereo rhythm track is
provided, as well as an onboard library of great grooves to choose from.
The intuitive user-interface continues the simple-to-use tradition of
BOSS’ acclaimed BR series, with a graphical design that follows the
layout of a conventional recording console. With EQ, reverb, and
mastering tools plus, world-class COSM amps and effects for guitar,
bass, and vocals the BR-80 is ready to deliver complete, pro-quality
recordings with ease.
Virtual Jam Band
The BR-80’s eBand mode offers musicians a fun way to play along with
their favorite songs. With the bundled eBand Song List Editor software,
you can import CD, MP3, and WAV audio files from a computer via USB. The
Center Cancel function can be used to minimize the volume of
pre-recorded vocals and solos for play- and sing-along enjoyment. eBand
mode is also an excellent partner for musical training, as it lets you
record your performance adjust playback speed and/or pitch as desired.
Built-In Stereo Mic
In combination with the onboard high-grade stereo condenser
microphones, the BR-80’s Live Rec Mode lets you capture pristine stereo
recordings instantly. Record vocals, guitar parts, and song ideas the
moment inspiration strikes. Your recorded audio files can be easily
imported into the BR-80’s MTR mode to use as a basis for multi-track
song production.
High-Quality Multi FX
The BR-80 is packed with professional multi-effects powered by a
newly developed custom DSP chip. Over 40 types of COSM amp models give
you instant access to a wide range of powerful guitar and bass sounds.
The preset patches allow first-timers and pros alike to enjoy
high-quality sounds immediately, while power users can tweak parameters
in micro detail for the ultimate tonal control. The dedicated vocal
effects, comparable with BOSS’s popular VE-20, include doubling, harmony
effects, pitch correction, and more.
PC Companion
The ultra-flexible BR-80 can be used as a stand-alone digital
recorder or as audio interface for a USB-equipped computer. Cakewalk’s
SONAR X1 LE DAW software (for Windows) is bundled with the BR-80, giving
users a full-fledged PC-based music production environment with
latency-free recording and a powerful range of COSM amps and effects.
Furthermore, the bundled Wave Converter software lets you easily
exchange data between the BR-80 and SONAR X1 LE or any other DAW.
