For a lot of musicians Boss is one of the most trusted name in the music business. The company on Wednesday added to its product line with a portable studio. The BR-800 is battery powered, so it can go anywhere you want to go to record a song.The unit can record up to four tracks simultaneously and play up to eight tracks at a time. There is an additional stereo track for the built-in rhythm generator.
For beginners there is an EZ Recording mode that guides you through the recording process. There’s also a “Retry” feature that automatically queues the song so you can fix any mistakes.
Of course, being a Boss product, you also have access to many effects.
The BR-800 Can be plugged in using an AC adaptor or powered using six AA batteries. It will ship in May and cost $525.
