    BR-1200 bringing vocal effects more upfront

    Hey Jiminindy, I guess you've got the effects figured out by now. I use the loop effects and eq, comp etc in the context of the whole mix like Washburn suggests. Did you try editing your delay levels etc within the loop effects? You may have discovered this already i.e. effect level; delay...

    Hey there Mr Hobby I concur with you and 72Fender about the Boss.:) The 1200 is fundamentally the same as the 1600 so here are some good tips on programming the drums in the BR, at this site...

    Instrument tracks & midi channels

    I'm new to Protools HD and have a basic understanding of midi but cant quite solve the following scenario. (I'm not in front of the Protools computer at the moment so hopefully can describe ok) The song is using 2 'instrument' tracks, 1 for piano (using Xpand) and the other for drums (also...

    Roland GR-20 guitar synth

    I borrowed a GR20 and guitar set up with GK2A for a couple of months. Overall I found it good but did have to adjust the string sensitivities and my technique. There are different sensitivity settings for picking or strumming etc and you may need to adjust settings to get the best out of the...

    Improving Guitar and Bass Sims on Boss BR-1180

    Hey Funkywrench, If you dont like the 1180 sounds then maybe go for the Vox or a Line 6 POD. I'm not sure what the 1180 was using for it's COSM guitar effects ~possibly the GT5 circuit (the 1200 and 1600 use the GT6 which imo is much better). I'm not aware of any 1180 downloads and PODs are...

    Marshall JVM410H

    Hi Idol, Heres my subjective impressions (I also googled reviews and found just has many that hated the Marshalls as liked them. Also, have a look at http://www.marshallampforum.com/). I recently had opportunity to spend a few hours comparing a JVM210H (which I guess is the a 410 with 2...

    BR-1600 Digital Recorder

    Sorry Mike, I dont know if there is a dedicated 900 forum. It might be worth doing a google search and be prepared to look thru several pages of search results. I found the 1600 forum on about the 6th page of a search ~ most the time I don't usually look beyond the second page, so it was...

    BR-1600 Digital Recorder

    Hi Jerry, the BR1600 offers lots of good features and sound quality for it's price. If you are recording on your own you will probably be using input 1 for guitar and input 2 for microphone however rather than try and read my second hand explanation of setting input levels have a look on pages...

    Some lyrics for you to consider...

    Nicely done. It's a universal theme that everyone can relate to and you've got some good imagery. I like it ~ wish I'd come up with those lines. Post a link if you've recorded it :) I guess it's in a minor key;)

    HELP -Boss BR1600 power loss- data gone?

    I'm sorry to hear of your situation. Gorty is right. Without a save the data is gone:(. Anytime that the power is cut you lose whatever was not saved ~ at least that's what the manual says and I've experienced it too. On the off-chance that your data recover idea is possible, go to...

    Theory vs. Instinct - whats your mix when you write?

    If you write by instinct/emotion and get stuck in the song construction then theory can be useful to resort to to kick start the creative process. I do this sometimes when in a creative block and try different theory constructs but if they detract from the original mood of the song I dont use...

    AD/DA Converter advice

    Thanks all for your posts. It's good to get your thoughts. It's a giant step up from the humble Boss machine in the spare room. We will probably go Apogee partly because of favourable reports and also because our Protools dealer does Apogee and it makes for a 1 stop backup service deal. I...

    AD/DA Converter advice

    Hey there Protools people My friend and I are taking the big step into the world of Protools HD2. We've been using a Boss BR1600CD for 3 years but have no experience using computer software or the hardware etc that is required. The equipment and specifications that I mention are from the...

    What's the best distortion pedal out there?

    Check out http://www.g2d.co.nz/ Their Custom Overdrive is one of the sweetest rock drives I've played through. Very responsive, nice definition etc I talked to a tech guy I know and he took one to his dentist who x-rayed the components because they were covered in epoxy so you cant see what...

    BR1180CD not burning CD's suddenly

    Hey there undrgrnd I'm sorry to read of your cd burning problem. That's a real pain. I've had the odd glitch in my BR1600cd with some brands of CDR and CDRW. If necessary, I would expect Boss could replace your CD burner. Try posting your question on www.takeforum.com/br1600cd There are...

    Syncing 2 Boss DAW's

    Also, I read a discussion post on takeforum about syncing 2 BR1600's so I would expect you could sync an 1180 and a 1600 and maybe when you come to mix down, take your stereo line out mix of the 1180 into a stereo track of the 1600 to mix into the 1600 tracks

    Syncing 2 Boss DAW's

    Hey Cellar Door As I understand it the BR1600cd Ver 2 will read back up data from the 1180 so put your 1180 backup CDR into the 1600 and load it. Presumably whatever song data is backed up from the 1180 will load into the 1600, whether its one song or more. I'm not sure about individual tracks...
