Br 1600

What about the EQ is it better than say a BR-8? That and the drums not being controlable are the only thing I don't like about the Boss model digital recorders. But they are great for a non tech like me.
 
I thought the EQ on the BR-8 was pretty good. I made great sounding recordings using the BR-8...the BR-1600 is even better. And yes, you can program the drum patterns on the BR-1600.
 
The inputs are shite on the BR1180. I cant seem to get a really good level without it distorting. You would expect to be able to sit safely at 6-4dB without distortion, but no, i get distortion! even when using a compressor or even a limiter.
And yes i check every level on the signal path to ensure no peaking anywhere else.
 
Great review. Overall, I am very impressed with the vocal recording quality of the BR1600. I have have also noticed the "digital artifacts" added to voice when pitch correction is turned on that Steve mentioned in the review. Does anybody know if there is a way to power up the BR1600 so that it defaults with the phantom mic power always on?
 
no it's always off and you have to turn the phantom power on each time.
