BR1200 I am a retired (52) Intensive Care Nurse in the UK - so not exactly a technophobe but new to the digital recording game. The paper manual is not particularly music friendly. Your course is a huge help BUT would be so much better if it included a step by step demonstration of a recorded song from beginning to end, making no assumptions and not skipping over any detail. If this adds an hour and doubles the cost it would be well worth it. Please let me know when you have done this and I will buy it. J J.B.A.(.B. DVD OWNERS MANUAL BR-1200 CD Hello David, Here's Jan from Belgium. Today I have received my DVD OWNERS MANUAL for the BR-1200 CD Although my DVD player is a PAL format I can really play this region free NTSC Pro Audio Training DVD. So I like to thank you and to say that I am very happy with my tutorial DVD. The explanations about the contents are so clear and inspiring that anyone on the planet can understand it. I'm surely going to tell my friends about ProAudioDVDs.com because Roland Europe doesn't have this kind of DVD's. Best regard from a very satified costumer. Jan Baeyens Aartselaar (Antwerp) Belgium E E.C.B. Boss-1200 owner's manual I found the course to be very helpful. I'm new to home recording and the owner's manual that came with the 1200 wasn't all that clear in some cases. This dvd explained at lot of stuff the paper manual doesn't cover or doesn't cover well. The only negative would be that the dvd went through some material a bit quickly, but with the combination of the two, I'm sure I can do what I want with the 1200. It's one cool machine! A A.C. A good companion to the owner's manual I believe the course was worth the money and it helps the process of getting started with this complex digital recorder become much less daunting. In its absence I still believe the DVD was more helpful than not having it and I would recommend it to anyone purchasing a BR-1200 who is not already familiar with a similar system. H H.L.G.M.(.N. One word to describe this DVD Excellent. The instruction manual that comes with the BR-1200 is good but not enough to master it. After going thru the DVD quickly as a 1st run, I feel it will help me as a beginner, master it in a fraction of the time it would have taken me otherwise. I think it s worth every penny for me. E E.C.B. Boss-1200 owner's manual I found the dvd to be very helpful. It's one cool machine! B B. BOSS BR-1200 DVD While the course is very helpful on; how to record a song. The lessons do not go into depth, the way I would have liked it to do. While there is a short lesson on using these effects, it is a far cry form how much the BR-1200 will do. Dave is a great instructer, but comes up short on using the Boss BR-1200. My desire, use as many course as needed, but take your time when teaching. Here is one individual that will pay the cost of an in depth tutorial, on using the BR-1200. The BR-1200CD is a value-laden asset for songwriters, bands, desktop audio for video production, and virtually any project requiring an expensive sound on a limited budget.

Geeky Joe 5.0 out of 5 stars What I liked most about the Boss BR 1200 is the fact the CD burner and mixer are all included (making it easier to use). I was worried about spending over ?200 on something that could have easily been a waste of money but the Boss Br-1200 is a great, professional recording studio which is easy to use and well worth the price. I would not have paid the RRP (which is apparently ?839 plus warranty)but for anything under ?300 I think it is worth the price. The results are great and once edited with a good quality software, the music sounds very professional. I was a bit worried when I first used the studio because I noticed a humming noise but when I realised it was just my guitar cable that was causing this I got a new one and it worked fine. I am now selling my Boss-BR 1200 and upgrading to a more expensive version but I wouldn't be surprised if I came back to the Boss-BR 1200. (I would like to note I had better results with my guitar than vocals but perhaps that is just because I have a good guitar and a bad microphone)The sound quality is superb and it writes to CD. It is full of effects. It is simply fantastic.Second, once I got it hooked up and watched a few videos telling me how easy it was to use, It wouldn't record. I hit the playback button and heard someone talking in Arabic. And could not delete that. So, after trying unsuccesfully to delete them, it still won't record.Sorry, we failed to record your vote. Please try again Sorry, we failed to record your vote. Please try again Boss should consider bringing back new models for desktop recording. It works great!Sorry, we failed to record your vote.

Please try again It has alot of features and dont understand how to operate it too complicated Not made more simplicitySorry, we failed to record your vote. Please try again. Subscribe to our free newsletter Request a new review UTILIZATION Easy to use, the components are easily accessible. The manual is clear but should be better designed to registration procedures, bounce, and mastering. SOUNDS The effects are interesting and COSM onboard can get by with a guitar and a bass and the microphone singing. Personally I spend all externally with a pod xt live, a DR670. OVERALL OPINION I mount models for six months. Physical contact, and track potentiometer knob is frankly more functional as a mouse. I do it again this choice and more as BR1600CD. Warning for those who think I can make editing rhythm, and the list of patch pad is too small for my taste. (But that's my taste!) 2 of 2 people found this review helpful Did you find this review helpful? yes no. Between a guitar or bass on the front faade. UTILIZATION Getting started is easy. It must be when even a short time, but the manual is well done and trsdtaille. The online edition of bass and drum is a little less empty dbut.l to 'step trs is not great, but with a little practice can be expected in an accompanying low battery the tone and style that suits. SOUNDS The recording quality is good I find trs. People that cost my models are always surprised by the enjoyable quality of sound. Bote The rhythm is the bass lines are really trs correct: It does have support recorded by professional studio, the blow is of good quality and it does not d Nature not your final mix. The range of effects is important trs and also quality. APRS is a matter of got, but the effects are COSM INTERESTED. What I dish the most with this type of device is that is does not crash (usually). Besides, I think that having too many possibilities and options, ultimately, can be an obstacle the crativit We do not know too much o give the head, so that 'we just wanted to dpart register. Also, what I dish is the physical ct: You push the faders, or you turn the knobs that are well rels. I find it more fun than doing it via a mouse. For my flat least, I can not find a major default. Can be export via USB even when that is quite slow. It is true that this device silent my first multitrack, so I have no point of comparison. Regarding the price quality ratio, I would 8, especially since it dropped for 2 years. I do not regret my choice at all. If I had to invest today, I would spend at BR can be 1600 or Yamaha AW 1600, which seems to be also well trs.
