Direct ?
You will need a good quality soundcard and interface
Or one for transfers from your other gear

Decide whether you're going to record on the Boss or the computer.

If it's on the computer, you'll need at least a 4 input soundcard to record the drums. You'll need something from the likes of M-Audio, Delta 44, Delta 1010LT.

If you can get 4 (8?) tracks on the Boss, then you can record on that and just transfer to the computer and do your editing & mixing in Cakewalk. Does the Boss have s/pdif?

Wht is s/pdif

Hello all,

This is my first post.
Anyway, s/pdif, I'm a fan of it, I got one on my Boss VF1 and I love it.
It stands for Sony Philips digital interface format.
It's a solitary orange coloured RC socket, the same kind as your source inputs on your home hi-fi sets. (Phono in; Tape in; Tape out, etc.)
It gives a digital interface from your audio equipment to your PC or vice versa in stereo on a single RC cable. And all you have to do is plug it in.
No interference because of copper cabling because it's digital.
Hope that helps.
Unfortunately, I see that it is becoming more of a specialised interface, rather than a year or so ago it was almost a stock standard. Perhaps we'll all be moving toward USB 2.0 or FireWire.

Well - sort of.........

S/PDIF stands for Sony Philips Digital Interface. It's a self-clocking 2-channel digital protocol that IS fairly standard, allowing digital transfer of data between gear that adopts the specifiction.

The connection type for the protocol is NOT standardized - an S/PDIF digital stream can be transmitted through a variety of connectors - some similar in appearance to RCA jacks, others use optical TOSLink that looks like an ADAT connection. The connector itself is actually irrelevant, and unless it is specified, you can't tell what digital protocol is used for any given digital jack......
