A second mode is Song Sketch, designed for instant recording of wav files - ideal for those occasions where you want to grab song ideas before you forget them.

Whether you're creating intricate, multi-layered songs or point-and-capture field recordings, the BR-800 makes the recording process fast and easy. Connected to a PC, the BR-800 will function as a USB audio interface for recordings that utilize the internal effects. Forget Zoom and its competitors, the Boss is, most unquestionably, 'the boss' when it comes to faithful sound reproduction. When using it in standard multitrack mode, it saves your recordings in it's own proprietary format, that is "HiFi (MT2) Roland/BOSS original format". We advise you to update to a currently supported browser (such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) to improve your security, speed, and overall experience.For instance, you could have a crack at a solo up to eight times and keep the lot, choosing the best one at mixdown. I'm at a point where I want to offload it but if there is any way to improve sound quality may reconsider.

Ever since I've had Windows 10 my PC just doesn't recognise my BR600 when I connect it so the card reader does sound a good option.Transferring the mix to computer is done via USB, as is archiving of data, but the USB connection can also be used for direct audio transfer, with the BR-800 acting as an audio interface with the ability to send two simultaneous channels of audio to your computer as well as support stereo playback. The BOSS BR-800 allows anyone with even the smallest amount of work space to create and edit complex multi-track recording, thanks to a comprehensive number of inputs and outputs, faders and knobs and easily-accessed features all housed within an oh-so-slim chassis. The BR800 has built in effects from the best effect makers in the world, including options for guitar, vocals and acoustic instruments. To end though, even though the era of the stand-alone ‘portastudio’ style recording interface is sadly resigned to history, in six years I’ve never felt the need to upgrade, the BOSS BR-800 just lets me get on with the job of making music,and I can’t give a better recommendation than that.
