Micro BR-80

[Bossmgk]

The BR-80 does not organise by file name, but by the file attribute song name.
To check the file attributes before using eBand editor:-
 In Windows, right click on a song file and select 'properties', from there you can edit the attributes as required.

Thanks for the fast response! This List Editor makes me crazy! 
Can you give me example, step by step. Obviously this I meet for first time! I am on Windows! Its about mp3 that I made myself!  When I go 'Properties' what to check/uncheck ? When? Before or after rename? In 'Properties' there are 2 unchecked 'Attributes boxes : Read-only and Hidden. In 'Advanced' in "Archive and Index attributes" are 2 boxes: 1) File is ready for archiving 2) For fast searching, allow Indexing Service this file. And both a checked .
Under "Compress or Encrypt attributes" are 2 boxes: 1)Compress contents to save disk space -unchecked 2 ) encrypt contents to secure data- unchecked but not active!
Lets start like this:
I delete the song from List Editor! Then disconnect BR-80. Then go to my PC, Then find the file(mp3). Then delete the name (from 'Rename' ) Or first go to 'Properties'?? . Then........

I believe you can rename the songs right in the eBand Song List Editor. See pages 8 and 9 of the eBand Song List Editor manual.

Sounds like you just click on the song you want to change, then right-click on the song name and start typing.

 So.......has there been any definitive evidence that the BR-80 can utilize the BR-800 Rhythm Editor software to program drum sequences?  I've been curious and have received two different responses from Boss.  Any ideas? Experiments?

Well I did everything ! No mater how I rename the file(mp3) , it has character Can not just add new song to the "album" and file to take right alphabetical place! Only way seems to be to delete whole album and put the new updated album again to import whole ! (sometimes helps)The problem is that I have to fix every track again with matching guitar effects for each song!
Hope Boss will update this buggy software "eBand Song List Editor". (have not check "CONVERTOR" yet )

Please , let us know if any update comes from Boss for br-80 !
Thanks!

I'm on shuffle in eBand mode mate     and am out of ideas.

Heres a quote from Gumtown. He wrote the amazing GR 55 Editor....

**I


I have decided to also use my Boss Micro BR-80 as my every day MP3 song player, so i have loaded up much of my favourite material, songs to listen to while on the road, and songs to play during gig set breaks. Also all my practice songs which on the current gigging setlists.

To load the songs in the eBand Song editor must be used, the song formats must match those on the compatibility list, or the eBand editor will reject them.

Now this is the bit that had me stumped for a while, the song file attributes must be correct and complete, in particular, the song Album, Title, and Song Artist, as well as the file name. I noticed this when trying to load my playlist songs in alphabetical order, but they were listed in the BR-80 in a seemingly random order, this is why...
The BR-80 can group or organise songs by either Artist or Album, if these attributes were empty, then the list will be full of blanks.
The BR-80 does not organise by file name, but by the file attribute song name.
To check the file attributes before using eBand editor (in windows), right click on a song file and select 'properties', from there you can edit the attributes as required.
A group of files can be selected and have the common properties edited, like Album and artist as a group setting.

When a song is played, the original file name is displayed on the screen as the song title, not the file attribute 'song title' setting.

With the file attributes set before using the eBand song editor to load material into the BR-80, organisation of songs by Album and Artist in the BR-80 make your experiance much more enjoyable, the BR-80 will play a continuous list of songs by the catagory you have chosen.

The only feature specific to the BR-80 and Sonar LE that I can recall right now is the ability to use the BR-80 as a USB audio interface. I haven't dived too deeply into this feature of the BR-80, but I got it to work with Audacity and Cubase 5 Essential. Haven't had much use for it yet, because frankly I still record on the BR-80 or MBR, and then bring the tracks into Cubase or Audition via BR Wave Converter, rather than using the BR-80 as an interface to record directly in the DAW.

[Oldrottenhead]

that sounds like the answer i was looking for. i rarely use daws but i see the benefit of having a br connected to a daw for quick editing.

Thanks 64

Kind of knew that the level was too hot - but was just making a couple of observations:

1) I get digital distortion on playback even when the rec level is way off showing 'peak' - to avoid unwanted distortion the level needs to peak to 2/3 approx of the 'in' bar (interestingly this is also where the rhythm track seems to sit on playback). So for input sensitivity set at 0db and showing a peak of around -20 on the input sensitivity screen, I'm down at around 40% on the rec level. And this isn't a guitar with hot pickups.

Try with the system upgrade 1.04. It has a new range of guitar input sensitivity. From -12 instead of 0.
