- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 September 2024Style Name: BR-80Verified PurchaseThsis is quite an amazing piece of equipment. More than just a multi-track recorder, it is jam
packed with special effects and recording tricks. The results are quite astounding. This is a must
for any budding musician or a professional for that matter
I have had it for about a month and have so far uncovered only a few of it's "secrets". It comes with
quite a good sized manual, but this manual seems to assume prior knowledge of this type of equipment
and in many bits lacks adequate description. Fortunately, there are some tutorials available on You Tube
worth looking at if you get stuck.
It can be used at gigs too as it can be plugged into your amplifier to use it's many instrumental or
vocal effects. It is also very small and light, literally pocket size.. This has so far been a very good
purchase. = Mr. T.S.C. Kucharski
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 January 2020Style Name: BR-80Verified PurchaseThis is a great bit of kit for the money. I haven't explored all the functions yet. I have tried the immediate mode where it acts a but like a tape recorder or message recorder. As an idea comes into your head it takes only a few seconds to boot it up and hey presto, using the two embedded microphones, you have a very faithful recording.
Track recording, if you have done it before elsewhere, is also fairly simple. However, for the complete novice, producing a final mix does require frequent reference to the manual and is quite tricky. I feel that this is due to what they have packed into such a tiny device, using cusor type arrows and a selector wheel to make choices. I also feel that with HD colour screens on phones becoming pretty much the standard, the monochrome display provided is very old fashioned, but having said that, it is reasonably functional once you get the hang of it.
The sound quality is excellent but I haven't blasted the results through anything more powerful than a practice amp .
It's great that this is literally a handheld device, and I have small hands but to make it a centimetre wider and broader would probably allow for a better control layout and a better screen...perhaps even colour, and I dont think it would detract from its deminutive portability. As a quality recording device it is at the inexpensive end of the market and adding a few extra pounds for a better display would raise it high above the opposition.
Would I buy it again... certainly.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 February 2017Style Name: BR-80Verified PurchaseIve been using my little Boss BR-80 for a couple of years now, on and off with other recording means such as an Ipad with Garageband connected to a Focusrite Idock interface, and its bigger brother the Boss BR-800, yet I always seem to come back to the little BR-80. Having realised this I have now sold the BR-800 on, it didn't do anything more than this little wonder can do anyhow. I think I like it so much due to its simplicity and usability in such a small and portable package.
I am a hobby singer/songwriter and record my songs via the live record function, on the on board mikes, and the quality I get makes me more than happy. I have used it with a condenser mike instead of its own but not really heard much advantage for the effort. It gives me a raw live type recording that I particularly like, being into music such as Jack White who at times records in this same raw, no frills type of way. I can even then move the recording into the multi tracker mode if I want to add anything else such as drums or backing vocals. I have a 4gb card in, and find that I have more than enough room to keep all my work for reference and memory on this. I can not comment on the eband or effects on the unit as I have not really used these myself. I use the unit powered on battery's, two AAs, and find that these work for a very long time, weeks of use in fact.
At the price this unit is now, I feel that it is a bargain for singer/songwriters who just want to record their ideas and go, without fuss.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2024Style Name: BR-80Verified PurchaseI have bought two of these. The first was recommended by a music shop retailer. The second was from Amazon. We happily use these to record our music sessions and they do it well. During a rest from music, it sat on my shelf for years and when I picked it up again I had no idea how to use it on impulse, I had to re-read the instructions. I would prefer to have a cut-down version with ONLY the LIVE RECording functionality and no other modes to complicate the interface. I wrote and printed my own instruction manual to supplement the official on so next time I return to it, I can get it working without having to read the instructions again.

5.0 out of 5 stars vielseitig einsetzbar
Style Name: BR-80Verified Purchasenutze den kleinen Recorder mittlerweile für eine Vielzahl an Instrumenten, bin begeistert. Wenn man sich mal ein wenig eingearbeitet hat, funktioniert alles richtig gut. Das Drehrad ist ein wenig fummelig, könnte besser gelöst sein. Alles in allem ein gutes mobiles Ministudio. Die Effekte und der eingebaute Rhythmuscomputer sind interessante Gimmicks, insbesondere wenn man die Effekte nicht mit der Gitarre, sondern anderen Instrumenten nutzt, kommen überraschende Sounds zu Tage. Habe hier schon erfolgreich mit Handpan, keltischer Harfe und Digital-Sax gearbeitet.
Das hochladen von Back Tracks, die man z.B. am PC erstellen und als MP3 auf das Gerät packen kann, eröffnet nochmal eine Menge Möglichkeiten. Für mich als beruflicher Vielreisender eine ideale Möglichkeit, auch unterwegs im Hotel Mal schnell zu üben oder aber auch eine musikalische Idee kurz aufzuzeichnen und dann back home am PC dann sauber auszuarbeiten. Macht Spaß, das kleine Ding :-)

WestsandReviewed in France on 7 December 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars studio d'enregistrement portable
Style Name: BR-80Verified PurchaseJ'ai trouvé dans le BR-80 le compagnon indispensable de ma musique. Ce petit appareil rend bien des services à commencer par le simple enregistrement d'une session en mode "live rec". C'est sa fonction la plus basique, mais c'est souvent ce qu'on lui demande quand on cherche à enregistrer une idée de chanson ou pour répéter. Le son des micros est exceptionnel. Moi qui utilise tout le temps la guitare acoustique et qui chante de temps en temps, je n'ai rien à redire à la qualité d'enregistrement. Sa 2eme fonction, "MTR", permet de faire des enregistrements sur 4 pistes. Je n'ai jamais rien eu d'équivalent avant, et j'apprends avec le BR, mais je le trouve très simple et facile à utiliser. On est pas sur un DAW, ça reste un outil de poche, mais je le trouve assez puissant. Pour moi, c'est un vrai mini studio qui permet de faire une maquette propre. Et enfin, la fonction "eband" est pas mal non plus... Je m'en sers pour apprendre certains morceaux. Je joue sur la musique. Par contre, lorsque je ralenti trop le tempo, la tonalité reste la même comme souhaité, mais j'ai des petits bruits parasites qui me gênent. C'est une petit problème, mais sinon, je n'en trouve pas d'autre dans cet appareil. Je conseille à tout le monde, et si je devais le racheter, je le rachèterai sans hésiter car pour moi, c'est un indispensable.
PS: Je rajoute un commentaire car suite à mauvais traitement, j'ai abimé la prise casque et, j'ai racheté le br80. Mais c'est entièrement de ma faute. J'en profite pour expliquer que j'ai découvert que l'appareil peut aller loin dans sa fonction "d'enregistreur 4 pistes". J'ai donc trouvé la fonction "métronome" qui est très utile pour moi qui enregistre la guitare sur ma première piste et ma voix sur la deuxième. Celui ci peut être enlevé après enregistrement de la piste, et ça me permet d'avoir un morceau qui commence après une mesure qui est au bon tempo. Du coup, je peux ensuite faire la composition de mes percus dans ezdrummer 3 sur mon pc. Je rajoute que l'on peut s'enregistrer en mode MTR tout en étant dans le mode métronome avec les mesures qui sont numérotés et qui défilent... Très pratique pour savoir où l'on se trouve dans la chanson quand on joue de la guitare. C'est juste énorme.

5.0 out of 5 stars my favorite musical tool
Style Name: BR-80Verified PurchaseIt's basicslly almost every boss guitar effects pedal along with amp modeling, a digital multitrack recorder, a drum machine, and two of the best condenser microphones you'll ever use all in a box that will fit in your gig bag. Sure, you can do most of this with apps on your smartphone for cheaper, but the instrument input jack and built-in microphones make this the perfect all-on-one tool for any musician. It's cheap, powerful, and easy to use. I love this.
