B-Stock

This is typically a purchase directly from the vendor, who may have used the product at a training session or at a trade show, but this may also be a refurbished product. This inventory includes all parts, components, manuals (hard copy or downloadable) and the full factory warranty. It is guaranteed to work perfectly, but it may have a cosmetic blemish. It may be less attractive than Warehouse or Factory Resealed inventory, but it's priced even lower! This inventory is a great value.

"read the manual!"

Feature:
holy crap! it has everything! the only thing is i wish i knew how to do the pitch correction....but that's my fault. there are hundreds of effects and tons of drum settings.

Quality:
built like an ox. except there are some stains appearing, almost like rust on a car. i cant figure out what it is...

Value:
it good, of course it could be better *more tracks* hint hint.......

Desirability:
its sexy.

Sound:
It's great, but you really only have 4 good sounding tracks to work with, so it gets a little hard. also, when you bounce the music to one track, i find it gets a lesser quality to it and sounds a bit muffled. other than that, it has beautiful sound!

Ease of Use:
it will take you a few months to get the hang of it, but after that...smooth sailing. make sure you READ THE MANUAL! oh, and dont even touch the memory card, or open the door to it. the whole machine will be completely screwed up if you do, believe me!!!!

Support:
i've had to send my machine back 2 times. once it wasnt recording my mic, and this second time, it wont burn CD's. the support staff was excellent, very kind and patient with me. they sent me a shipping label, but i'm going to be moving to DC in a week, so if i send it back, they wont know where to send it back to me at. so they said to send it, and they will hold it until i'm ready. it was cool.

Overall:
i'm looking for a replacement right now, but thats because i'm going to have a studio built onto my house and i dont want this dinky little thing as my main mixer.

"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!

Description

From Our Catalog
News
The BR-900CD is one of the world's most popular, easy-to-use portable multi-track recorders. With Version 2, BOSS takes the best BR features and expands it with dozens of new COSM guitar-amp models, plus a super-cool new drum-editing software app and 500 minutes of recording time via 1GB Compact Flash.

Features
8-track recorder with CD burner

2 XLR phantom-powered mic inputs

46 types of BOSS GT-Pro class COSM amps onboard

1 GB Compact Flash card included for 500 track-minutes of recording time

Pro-quality effects for every instrument type, plus mastering and pitch correction

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 500 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.

Expanded Recording Time
No need to worry about track- record lengths. With a 1GB Compact Flash card onboard, the BR-900CD Version 2 provides up to 500 minutes of recording time.

New COSM Amps Onboard
It’s a dream collection for guitarists. Direct from BOSS’ top-of-the-line GT-Pro come 46 types of COSM guitar-amp models. Simply plug in and explore an amazing treasure trove of tone without the cost and hassle of dealing with physical amplifiers.

New Ways to Groove
The original BR-900CD was equipped with a built-in drum machine.Version 2 has a virtual drummer onboard as well, but with an advantage: a downloadable graphical Rhythm Editor software forcreating rhythm pattern and arrangements visually via Mac or PC. It’s the best of both worlds.

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.

1 x Hosa CPA203 Dual RCA To Dual RCA Cable (9.75 Foot)

1 x RaXXess Stoppit Microphone Pop Filter/Popper Stopper
