Sorry 64.......


we just don't know the machine too well......

Seemed like a Short cut around a lot of technical stuff!

Peace

You guys!! Always thinking, searching for something new!!  Nothing wrong with that!

I drop my Micro a couple times a week, drag it behind me when I forget to take my headphones off  , etc. I should go buy another one for that reason!!

I'm just not portable, man....

Peace, Later and See you around,

Well, you've been making some great recordings with it. I can't wait to hear what you'll be able to do when you've learned more about the Micro BR's capabilities.

My advice to anyone who wants to learn about their Micro BR's more advanced features such as v-tracks, bouncing, effects editing, etc. is to create a "throwaway" song for experimenting. What I mean by that is that you want to concentrate on the Micro BR rather than your musical performance or songwriting. So, just record any old rubbish on a few tracks and then start trying some bouncing or whatever and see what happens.

When you're trying to record a masterpiece, there's a temptation to avoid using features you're not yet familiar with. One reason for this is that you don't want to risk doing something wrong and ruining your masterpiece. Another reason is that you don't want to interrupt your creativity by stopping to learn how to use the feature. So record some junk tracks to experiment with instead. Then you don't have to worry about making a mistake, and you can concentrate on learning the feature instead of on your songwriting or performance. Then, when you've got the hang of the feature, you can make use of it on your next masterpiece.

Keep up the good work osckilo, and have fun learning about your Micro BR. And if you have any questions along the way, don't hesitate to ask.

remember this awesome thread...the brilliance of it still makes me stop, turn around, spit a few times, straighten my glasses and go "Albino shape-shifting lizard bitches!!  whoah man, thats heavy"

I am glad I found this old stream by chance as there is some great advise on it as usual from 64 (the  master) particularly the analogue to digital to analogue problem.
I bought a Boss BR1180 and understood that the CD attachment was still available, but after purchase could not find one. Roland said buy the Boss BR micro to convert for wave and MP3.
I love the effects on the BR1180 and the fact I can plug straight in my SM58 getting great results on mixes and vocals. However, mixing down on 1180 and then dropping on to the Micro does lose quality and alters the mix slightly. Perhaps there is a better way around it for me, ie sell both and buy a BR800, or is there an easier way to do this. The SM58 has the XLR plug so will not go in the BR micro without an adaptor but that is not the most reliable.
Any suggestions.

Best quality option would be to hook it up to the line in on your PC and record direct. Even better with a better-than-standard audio interface.
With the br1180 without CD, it's almost impossible to work on collaborations, because of the timing issue. Maybe -just maybe- you could get around that with complicated tricks with MIDI and DAW software using time sync.
The MBR however by itself is ideally suited for collabs. You could still use the FX and mixer from the BR1180, hook its line out up to the line in on the MBR. Load the backer up on track 1&2 over usb, record your stuff on 3&4 from line-in. Want to add more? v-tracks to the rescue!
