Boss BR-1180CD Reviews2 Found On 2003-12-21, ALAN LINTON gave this Boss Recording a 5...(7009)
Purchase: I came across an advertisment for this Boss unit and went to check it out for myself at MARS Music center. After hearing its amazing sound quality and extreme ease of use, I bought it for $1099!
Pros: This thing is AMAZING! I am no recording engineer, but this thing would make anyone think I made a living at it after hearing the quality mix mastered onto a CD! Its all in here, and anyone that can write a song and play it will sound like a million bucks using this recorder! If Tom Sholtz of Boston had this unit back in the 70's, he would have saved a bundle in recording gear. He probably would have written a few more albums for Boston with all the extra free time he would have had, not messing around with all of that ancient gear of yesterday!
Cons: There is not anything I could ask this unit to do it doesn't already do, accept maybe make duplicate cd's from the master!
Quality: Good. Summary: If you are in a band and need grat demos-BUY IT!
If you are a song writer whom needs great easy to record multi-trac recordings-
BUY IT!

Purchase: I bought the BR-1180CD at Mark's music in Bangor, Maine for 1000 plus tax. I bought this because I was sick of 4-track analogue recording and wanted the ability to make my own cd's.
Pros: I like the fact that for someone who doesn't have loads of money to spend, you get everything all-in-one. You get over a hundred effects for guitar, bass, vocals, and it also comes with drum loops, and has a drum machine there too if you don't have a drummer. All you really need for additions are your guitars and a mic and you can make your own mastered cd.
Cons: Two things i didn't like about this product: one, it comes with a bass simulator, so you don't need a bass guitar, you can use an electric guitar to play bass, but it is awful and a lot of times produces the wrong pitch, and two, when burning cds, there is an option to make a whole cd or to do one track at a time. When i choose create a whole cd, it ends up messing up half way through and you don't get the whole cd burned, so i have to burn them one at a time. I going to buy a cd burner for my computer so i don't have to waste the time on that, but i don't know if it's just mine that frigs up or if it's a manufactorer's glich.
Quality: I have had no problems so far with this unit, it is sturdy and is very easy to use after reading the manual. The quality of sound that is produced is very good and there are a lot of song effects to add to the music such as reverb, chorus, delay, etc. to your song so there are an endless amount of different combinations of sounds that can be produced. Summary: If you have a bass guitar and don't mind burning one song at a time as your method of creating a cd, this is a great product and i'm very satisfied with it. The fact that anyone with a moderate amount of money can produce cd's for demo's or personal enjoyment is a cool thing.
