Can someone explain what I am supposed to be watching for when I come across these Frequency and Phase Analysis tools that are bundled with different software packages ? Is this an important tool in getting big commercial sounding tracks ? Matt

Does anybody use the auto-calibrate on this unit ? (The feature that auto sets all input levels). Whenever I do, it brings the levels in real low. Anybody else's thoughts ?

ANybody else use their Boss ME50 as a synthesizer ? I was reading in the manual, that when you set the BigMuff Distortion to "Sqaure" and use the resonance pedal, and delay and reverb and chorus, you can use the pedal as a synth ! I tried it and, yep, it makes weird synth noises ! You can...

I have been trying to record my audio signals, regardless of what they are (ie: Bass, Drums, etc.) at anywhere between -12 and -4. After that, before I start mixing I normalize every track. This takes a long time. Is this wrong or right ? Is there a better way ? What levels do you guys...

Somebody gave me a Wollensak 3M reel to reel recorder. They said it still works, although I don't have the power cord to try it. This unit is tube, and I think 2 channel. It's not very big, about 1' wide, 3/4' Deep and 7" tall, but heavy as hell. It's called a Wollensak Stereo Magnetic...

I am a beginner at recording/mixing (less than 2 years experience). I can buy a Shure KSM44 for $1000 CDN (Thats probably $750 USD). I want it for several application ie: Vocals, Overheads, etc. etc. I want whatever large diaphram mic I buy to be the only one I will need for a period of 5...

I heard a rumor that Roland will announce a Version 2 upgrade for the BR-1600 at NAMM (which is going on now). Can anybody verify this or comment ?

Some friends and I were bored and had the opportunity to conduct a test after a jam session. We compared the Boss ME50 emulating the Boss DS-1 and the Tremolo TR2. We could not tell the difference ! To use, on different guitars and different amps, it sounded the same as the stomp box it...

It would be much easier to fly many tracks into the computer at once, instead of one at a time. (The BR1600 takes a long time to process). Once in USB mode I can grab any folders I want, but once I get all that info onto my computer, does anybody know how I can convert VR8 files to Wav ...

I love the way my Fender Strat (Mexican) plays, but I'm not too keen on it's sometimes wimpy sound. I was told to put a Seymour Duncan "Hot Rail" in it. Any body else recommend this ? MAtt

I have been struggling with these 2 question since I got the BR1600 in early December. I have even emailed Roland, but they have not returned my email. #1. Can you route any input you want to any track you want, or do you have to always move cables around ? ie: I want input#7 to record...

Hello... I am hooking up my rack mount compressor so that it inputs into my Boss BR-1600cd Recording console. I have the option of Balanced or Unbalanced. How should I hook it up, and why does it give me these 2 options ? (I have both kinds of cables, so I'm ready for whatever). Matt

Anybody out there own this ? (The ART stereo tube compressor ?)

Does anyone have and tips or tricks regarding mastering audio with the Boss Br-1600 CD ? Does anyone care to comment on any of the Presets they give you ? ie: Do you use them ? Do you tweak them and then use them ? (I bought this thing so I can Track then Mix then Master easily, however...

Hello, I've searched the internet and my manual over and over, but I cannot find out how to route inputs to tracks. ie: If my cable is plugged into Input 3, how do I record that onto track 7, or etc. ? Boss Tech support says you can do it, but does not explain how. Anybody ?

Hello, I have made my mind up that I want to buy the Boss Br-1600 CD. I've done alot of research and this unit looks unbeatable. Anyway, full retail at the local music store in Ontario, Canada is going to be over $2000 Cdn. There are lots of great online stores (zzounds.com...

I am looking to download some sound clips of what is considered to be "good recordings" ie: What does a great bass guitar sound like, recorded well? What does a great recording of drums sound like ? What does a piano sound like recorded well ? I want to use these a references. I am a...

... but I already use Adobe Audition. Since they both essentially do the same thing, which program does a better job at it ?

Some quick questions... 1. How long should a song be to be a "radio single" ? (I heard the norm in the sixties was 2:50 ) 2. How long does everyone feel an Ep should be ? (How many tracks ?) 3. How many tracks and how long should an LP (full lenght album) be ? What is everyone's opinion...

A band I like (Guided By Voices) gets a great vocal sound by singing through an Electro Harmonix memory man guitar pedal. I bought the pedal, but the salesman at the store, as well as other musicians have told me : You CANNOT sing through a guitar pedal due to impedance problems, so YOU HAVE...
