Since this site now covers much more than the Micro BR, I thought it would be interesting to run an ongoing poll of which recorders the members are currently using. Please cast your vote above. You can select more than one recorder, but please only select the ones that you actually use (not the ones that are buried under a bunch of junk in a closet and haven't been used in years, or the 4-track cassette you sold 20 years ago). You're allowed to change your vote later, in case you make a mistake and don't notice it right away.
I hope everyone will participate in this poll. It's very easy to do, so there's no reason not to cast your vote.

i still use my Boss MicroBR for recording jam sessions and band rehearsals, songwriting and just plain jammin' along with the drum patterns for warm ups and practice.
i'm in the process of learning how to use Logic as my software DAW along with a Tascam FW1884 interface/controller to record a full album for my band. this will probably take a few months at the rate we are going but it's worth it. considering how much more complicated this method is turning out to be, i have to say that i truly love my Boss MicroBR that much more for its simplicity and raw sexiness. |

microBR and BR-1200 for me. These two are all I use (no computers involved at all). After getting the BR-1200 I realize just how sophisticated and powerful the microBR is. It just takes more frigging around to get it done but it can do just about everything that you can do on the BR-1200 with a bit more time and patience. I love them both and use them both a lot. (all of the Neilfest posts from me have been microBR for example) |

It all started with my Boss BR900cd, then I got Mackie Tracktion3 because it was cheap and I'm obsessive...Then hearing the stuff people were coming up with on the MBR~ I had to get one, not that I needed it or could afford it(but I use it all the time)....I also have Cubase that came with my Alesis Firewire mixer, but I never use it...Last, but certainly not least, the good ol', FREE Audacity....I have to include it because I use it so often.. |

Boss BR864 for me and occasionally my friend lets me record with his Micro BR. I'm Impressed with both at the vast array of gadgets but i find they are not easy to use for noobies. |

In addition to my Micro BR, I have GarageBand. I even bought the Dummies book for Garageband--but I can't bring myself to dive in. The Micro BR gets me away from the cursed computer, and GarageBand would pull me back in. |

I mean, basically on these machines, you've got everything you're almost ever gonna need as a home-musician/recordist. Beyond the BR range, and esp the top-end, you'd be as well paying for a studio. Stay at home, have some fun. Imagine what these things would have cost you 25 years ago - and then you really would have only found them in a studio. |

Looks like stats show that the microbr's are taking over the world... Just started listening to some of the other posts under the other br units - wow! This is an incredible forum - so much music out there~~~ I am having fun with my br900, but Tammy will start wondering if I'm spending this time @ the pc/br900/brforum with music or looking @ some naughty sites - ha! |

Hey Larry! Welcome to the club! You know what the micro can do with a bit of learning / practice under your belt. I guess we'll be hearing some new material from you soon... ! That's great news. |

I think the MBR is possibly the best non-instrument (apart from perhaps a metronome, and it is that as well) that I have ever bought. I've used it for an enormous range of musical functions both in recording and practice, and as an mp3 player. But I'm getting drawn back to Garageband (even though I don't like sitting in front of a computer) because I can see all the tracks open at once, I can make adjustments much more quickly through sliders and mutes and I can sample and that is something I want to explore. |
