I recently was fortunate enough to be able to purchase a Boss BR-8 and an Alesis SR-16 drum machine. Now I seem to have this steep learning curve, and I am not sure where to start. Obviously, I have a lot of reading and listening to do, but I would like to get my hands on the gear, too. I have tried recording my voice and guitar, but how do I start recording a full song? Drums first? And how do I get a drum pattern that fits what I want, complete with the fills and all? I am lost, HELP!!!
 
Use the search function at the upper right and do a search using the names of the gear you are using. I think you'll find alot using Boss BR-8. Start there and then come back if you have more questions.

Oh, and read the manuals first. :)You won't believe what you will know when you're finished.

H2H - Thanks for the reply. I have been into the manuals, but what I guess I am looking for is some kind of tutorial about how to actually use these things, more of a procedural thing than a reference guide. I just got the "Home Recording for Musicians" book, so maybe that will help. I would appreciate any suggestions, though. Thanks!
 
Thanks

Thanks, C7sus. Is this your favorite chord? :-)
This is more what I was looking for, just general procedural help. I think I'm trying to do too much too soon, before I really have my feet wet. Again, thanks!
