Detailed Product Description

Boss BR1200CD Digital Recording Studio

Hassle-Free Recording & CD Burning
Fly from point A to B in record time, thanks to the BR-1200CD's logical arrangement of buttons, knobs, and faders, and its inviting icon-based user interface. Recording, mixing, and CD burning is simple. To record, simply connect an instrument or microphone (XLR inputs with phantom power are provided), and follow the logical flow of controls on the left side of the panel. Use the fader pack in the middle to mix, and press the "Audio CD Write/Play" button to jump to the CD Burning menu.

Multi-Effects & COSM Models
From full dunk to subtle sweetening, the BR-1200CD is equipped with a powerful multi-effects processor derived from the famous BOSS GT-6/GT-6B. A lineup of COSM amp models are in the lineup, including the world standard Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus(TM), R-FIier Vintage, Metal Stack, BOSS Compact Pedal models such as OD-1 and MT-2, and more. Also onboard - COSM Mic Models, which emulate expensive condenser mics. Correct pitch and add harmonies with the Vocal Tool Box, and for the finishing touch, tap into the Mastering Tool Kit to put a pro-quality polish on your track.

Backing Band Built In
Another distinguishing feature of the BR-1200CD is its world-class bass and drum programmer, packed with instruments and patterns to suit a variety of styles. Realistic acoustic drums and percussion are included, as well as many electronic sounds to compose modern hybrid type of music. For bass, you can choose from a variety of bass sounds, such as slapped basses, picked basses, and fretless basses. Jam along with the supplied patterns or create your own from scratch. The EZ Compose feature makes ultra-realistic custom programming a snap. There's also a selection of great loop phrases pre-installed on the internal hard drive.

Computer Connection
The BR-1200CD has a USB port for simple, one-cable data exchange with your computer. You can export audio tracks to your computer in WAV format, and safely save backups of your song data. If you have WAV files you would like to use, you can import them to the BR-1200CD's tracks via USB as well. The BR-1200CD is compatible to both PC and Mac, including Mac OS X.

…got it and found it excellent. It is very easy to record tracks. It's a little difficult to balance volume for final CD writing, but I think it is lack of practice.

I've had this piece of equipment for just a day...I used to own a BR-8 and found most of the basic controls almost identical on the BR-1200... I wasn't at all familiar or fond with the use of the V-tracks on the BR-8, they weren't really necessary for my setup. But because of the Mastering Tool Kit on the BR-1200, the use and understanding of V-tracks is practically mandatory. The good news is, it's pretty straightforward and simple--once you figure it out for yourself! The manual for this gadget is horribly written and probably only makes sense to the guy who wrote it. I literally had to gather all the relevant pieces of information from various places of the manual to make sense of everything, and I literally almost broke into tears out of frustration last night, as I had no idea whether the BR-1200 was defective or I was doing something wrong. Now back to the positives. It is very simple to use and the mixing and effects seem more polished than the BR-8. Also, the sync function is perfect for those of us who still have the ancient setups that involve an actual sequencer (I still work with a Roland MC-50). I believe that the BR-1200 is one of the best digital recorders around for the money.
