""BR-900CD is GR-EATCD!""

Feature:
Everything's great. The only thing that is kind of a shame is that it's marketed as an 8-track recorder, but 7 and 8 are essentially mastering tracks. This means that you can only really have 6 tracks. The V-Tracks are great, though. Built-in CD burner works really well, and being able to export the audio files to .wav by USB is also great.

Quality:
Amazing. Buy this.

Value:
Amazing value. Talk about bang-fer-buck!

Desirability:
I went in to look at a KORG system like this. I saw the Boss model and decided "THIS IS MINE." I was in the next day to buy it.

Sound:
Every recording I've made has had people asking "what studio did you record this in?" The sound is really crisp and clear. All the effects are amazing. As long as you have a decent mic, the vocal-processing makes your voice sound great.

Ease of Use:
Simple, professional-sounding recording. Plug and play, essentially.

Support:
Had to deal with them once. My memory card messed up. It was not their fault. They were pretty helpful...

Overall:
I am excited about owning this. An upgrade is in order as I branch out a bit more, musically/variety-wise. For the moment, it's great.

"Impressive and Highly-Portable Recording Studio!"

Feature:
Wish it had the ability to simultaneously use an expression pedal and foot switch, like its big brothers.

Quality:
Built solid!

Value:
Lots of goodies packed in this box, making it a great value!

Desirability:
Sleek shape, the layout of the mixer, and the dusky-silver exterior look awesome!

Sound:
Perfect sound, and awesome built-in effects processing!

Ease of Use:
Complicated, but the DVD manual was a huge help! The 200 page written manual is also a huge help!

Support:
Now that Boss/Roland has email support, receiving support is a breeze!

Overall:
I purchased the Boss BR-900CD digital audio workstation after considering the Zoom H4, Boss Micro BR, and Boss BR-600. I chose the Boss BR-900CD for its sturdy and compact design, high-quality recording capabilities, RCA inputs, and the inclusion of an AC power adapter. This digital recorder is loaded with features, and is ready to use right out of the box! The built-in tuner is very convenient; and the multitude of effects combines Boss guitar, bass, and vocal processing units into a single package! The Boss BR-900CD's features produce a studio-quality CD, from recording to mastering; and even records to first-generation Compact Flash memory! Be prepared to study the manual, but know that it's definitely worth it!

News
The BR-900CD is a portable dream studio. It's road tough, fun to use, and it performs far beyond its weight class. This reliable all-in-one digital recorder stands out with its professional effects, realistic drum-pattern generator, vocal-correction and Mastering Tool Kit, digital output, and internal CD burner. No matter where you are -- in your home studio or on the road -- all you'll need is a BR-900CD, and you can write, record, edit, mix, master, and burn a complete polished CD anywhere, anytime.

Features
Built-in CD-burner and Mastering Tool Kit

8 simultaneous playback tracks, 2 simultaneous recording tracks with 8 V-tracks (64 V-Tracks total)

2 XLR inputs with phantom power, plus 1/4 in. and RCA inputs, and digital out

Pitch correction, chorus, delay, reverb, EQ, and other great BOSS-quality effects

Programmable drum generator with 294 patterns, plus Tone Load function for custom beats

Record direct to CompactFlash (128MB card included; record up to 624 minutes with optional 1GB card)

Record direct to CD-R/RW

USB port for data backup to computer, plus importing/exporting WAV files

Runs on batteries or AC power (AC adapter included)

The best gets better
With the same reliable and ultra-friendly operation as BOSS's highly popular BR-864, the BR-900CD takes three big steps forward by increasing the front-panel fader count from four to eight, and adding a built-in CD-RW drive and pitch correction to the feature set. The BR-900CD is compatible with CompactFlash cards up to 1GB capacity, which provides up to 624 minutes of record time (standard mode) in one shot. Even with all of these great new features, the unit's footprint remains small for ease of travel.

Stellar studio effects
Proudly displaying the BOSS logo, the BR-900CD offers a lineup of quality effects that are worthy of the legendary name. In addition to the time-tested standards (reverb, EQ, chorus, delay), you'll find additional pro-quality effects, such as vocal pitch-correction, bass simulation, pedal wah, COSM-powered guitar amp and compressor models, and mastering tools.

Rhythm programmer onboard
Songwriters will love the BR-900CD's built-in rhythm programmer, packed with 294 expressive patterns. Use these realistic backing tracks as inspiration for both writing and recording. You can even customize your own beats using the handy Tone Load function.

USB spoken
Connect the BR-900CD to the outside world with one convenient USB connection. Import and export audio files and song data quickly and easily. Need to add some drum loops or vocal samples to your song? Simply drag and drop your favorite WAV files from USB-equipped computer directly into the BR-900CD. Conversely, you can export audio that you've created internally on the BR-900CD to computers.

Convenient built-in mic
The BR-900CD's built-in microphone is perfect for times when bringing a mic and cable along isn't practical. Ultra handy!

Battery operation
The BR-900CD runs on battery or AC power (adapter supplied). You can make pro-quality recordings any time, any place.
