Evry Night. BR-532

[Greeny]

Well I wasn't expecting this!

I love it. Such a refreshing, toe-tapping listen. You get a good Louis Armstrong growl on the vocal too. Contempt? I'd like to hear more of the same. This is a stylish and entertaining genre to explore.

Very cool!

I gotta say this rules! You downplay yourself to much, because you have made an excellent recording.

I really love the guitar tone and the vocals!

Far out, bro!

Nice one, boldward...I like this genre very much.

You have a BR-532? Isn't that the granddaddy of Boss recorders?

The BR-532 is similar in features to the Micro BR (4 track mixing; preset drum patterns only) but in a larger case with real faders and MIDI out. The biggest limitation of the BR-532 is that it uses SmartMedia memory cards (max 128MB) which are extremely hard to find now.

In the larger history of Roland/Boss digital multitrack recorders, the BR-532 is not the granddaddy. The 8-track Roland DM80 was introduced ten years earlier for only $4,000. This was followed in the late 1990s by the VS series. See this page for the complete history:

More like a great uncle, I guess. But in a sense, it is granddaddy to the MicroBR. That's cool.

I need to spend more time at https://songcrafters.org/64guitars/BR/index.html - there's a treasure-trove of info there.

Just an excellent tune, bolward and this is a fine way to introduce yourself! Welcome!

Thanks for the info 64!
