just got the boss micro br...other things i might need list them here please. ;D
such as headphones...mics...monitors...what is your full micro br setup that you use to get the best result possible.
my set up is ibud earphones a 6 pack of beers and some coke and brandy and the house to myself.
Headphones, instruments, creativity. Full stop. ;D
If you are a guitarist, I would get the Boss octave pedal to emulate bass. I love that thing. Other than that, I agree with oldrottenhead for the most part, except I like to create in my purple crushed velour jumpsuit. I believe you can still get them legally in some areas.
I assume that your acquisitions will take on a life of their own shortly.

I have a cheap Dean (Bass), that works great for just playing around

No argument here, but when traveling, the last thing I want to do is lug two cases around. The BR and Boss both fit in the side pocket of a gig bag.
I mention the Boss specifically because it runs on batteries (or AC), again for portability's sake.
Just my 2 cents.
Peace to all.

agreed
i have used the bass sim in my br600 on vacation and sounded okay-in a pinch it'll work
Full Set Up: two electric guitars, one electro-acoustic guitar, one bass guitar, headphones, a capo, bottle-neck slide, a wah pedal, and some musical and lyrical ideas.
But I'm equally happy with just one guitar and some song ideas :)
Oh... and TIME. Everything above is relatively easy to come by, but time is oh so precious and rare.

Oh yeah, tell me about it!
Hi! this is my first post here.
I have a little toy to recomend, thinking in a pocket studio, i use a Palm T3 loaded with Bhajis loops, check it at www.chocopoolp.com, most for drum/bass programming, sometimes loops or synths.
Ah of course you'll need a miniplug to miniplug wire.
I agree with the beer!!!
Saludos, Marcelo.
See my list here:

If you have an instrument cable, a mini-to-mini (for bringing in sound from an iPod), headphones, and the USB cable you fit fit the entire setup in a fanny pack and yo have everything you need.

Lol! How true is this? I get the conservatory to myself but if it's raining it sounds like someone's frying chips!
Heres a general list of things that are handy in the "MicroBr" based mini-studio:
1. Monitor speakers and/or VERY good headphones.
2. All sorts of condenser and dynamic mics
3. A decent preamp for those mics (a pa with aux/rec outs will do)
4. A computer to store all your files and burn cds with.
5. Cables, 1/4" - 1/8" adapters, mic stands
6. Recording/Editing software for more tweaking/mixing/mastering
7. A steady supply of patience and determination
8. And/or lots of beer.
9. You can skip all the rack gear at first, but eventually, you'll want better pre-amps, compressor, limiter, noise-gates, EQ, aural exciters (love that term) and effects processors for reverb, chorus, etc... All that is built into the MicroBR but the real deal with provide WAY better results but certainly at a price ($$$) Not to mention better Mics (Neuman, Rode, etc...)
10. And a place to keep all this junk that has a workable space for recording vocals/drums/guitars/etc...

Add a Hard Drive (V-studio) rig or software (protools) rig and you have a full-blown studio... ;)
Hah! Kinda got carried away didnt I? I carry that wish list around in my head.
thats the problem with studio/musical equipment... it never ends man.
Ha ha, me too.
Some advice i got long ago from a pro audio guy (salesman) - "prioritize, don't chase trends, focus on building blocks that don't go out of fashion..."
I bought some cool mics and preamps to feed my original Tascam Porta4 tape system and I still use them today. I also gradually invested in better cables and a patch bay...
Then I got advice from a Roland electronics rep, "invest in things that make you more creative." In other words, supplies, cables, mics, studio amps - not so much. Guitars, drums (programmable), effects, recording device - Yes!
So, I got into some sequencing software, more guitar effects, and of course more guitars...
These two ideas conflict a bit, but I have had success building a studio that does focus on the creative elements, while gradually accumulating the building block that work with any recording system.
Still the most important things are "creativity, skill, instruments, recording media."
at the end of day all you need is a bit of wood and a rubber band.
the thing i love about the mbr is its all you need to get started
, (note to self) (must do an acapella track)
