    Best way to record a digital Yamaha piano?

    I want to record a digital piano with my BOSS BR-1180 but aren't sure about the best way. Should I use a mic to amp the speaker, or go line-in directly? Or, should I use line-in but a direct box as well? Also, is it possible to go straight in through midi (both have midi inputs, and if so, is...

    Bouncing Q

    I'm using the BOSS BR-1180 (maybe upgrading to the 1600...) to record, so I only really have 8 tracks to work with. So I was wondering, what instruments/tracks are good to bounce together to save space? I was considering bouncing the rhythm and lead guitars together (in two-track stereo) which...

    Panning Q

    This is a really general, basic question, so bear with me here. What would be the "typical" settings for PAN for your typical rock vocals, guitar, lead guitar, bass and drums recording? For stereo, I panned my lead vocals far-left and far-right, but it seems too loud. For everything else, I...

    A really stupid question...

    With the BOSS BR-1600, there are 8 XRL inputs. Does that mean the only way to record guitar is through an adapter? Meaning, from quarter inch to male-end of XRL? Also, if you built your own cables, would there be noticeable less quality?

    What do you really NEED?

    What do you really NEED to produce semi-polished songs? I'm a high school student on a very limited budget, preparing to go to college, and a father of one. I'm dumping a lot a bunch of my extras, such as guitars and amps I don't need, and am selling my year-old BOSS BR-1180 as well. I plan...

    BOSS BR-1180 CD/RW, Fender Cyclone, DOD Effects Pedal

    I'm upgrading (I hope) to a BR-1160, and to do so, I'm gonna need a little more cash than I currently have, so I'm gonna sell some of my lesser-needed stuff. I have a year-old BOSS BR-1180 CD/RW recording studio complete with manual and a black carrying case ($80 value) which I just barely...

    Novice Seeking Enlightenment

    Okay, from what I can tell, the best thing you can possibly do mix-wise by your recordings is to simply have them EQ'd and sounding good when you record them straight, so as to save from doing work later. And if you have to cut and boost too much, go back and start from scratch. Also, on good...

    What's wrong with this picture?

    Musician's Friend is selling the MXL 990 Cardioid Condenser with a shock mount and carrying case marked down from $200 to $70. Has anyone used one? Is there anything wrong with it? I just need a semi-good quality vocal mic to record on my BOSS BR-1180 with.

    HELP!!! (Newbie seeking veteran advice)

    Last year I purchased a BOSS-BR1180, and I have had a lot of fun. Recently, I've also purchased two Edirol studio monitors, and shortly I'll be buying the Alesis SR-16 drum machine. For mics I simply have two AKG D 8000's which were on sale in musician's friend. My question is, now that I want...

    Help! (General question, but specifically pertains to BOSS BR-1180)

    Alright, I bought a brand new BOSS BR-1180 CDR/W last November. It seemed to be working fine until, one night, I did something very stupid. Attempting to get a live recording of my band, I used the power-out of our PA-Head (an 8-channel 600w Pevey) and plugged it in to line one of the recorder...
