Just scored - Boss BR-864!!

[Norman_T]

Guys just to tell you that I have won of e-bay a Boss BR-864 Digital Recording Studio. I have been waiting for some time to get something decent and have been watching this one over the last few days. I used GJ's tactics of waiting till the last 2-3 minutes and then putting in my bid. Of course I found that I had to increase my bid a couple of times before the end in order to get it.

Here's what they say from their site:

Compact 8-track digital recording studio with intuitive BOSS-style operation
Uses 128MB CompactFlash media (included) for over 60 minutes of recording time
8-track simultaneous playback; 64 Virtual Tracks (V-Tracks) for recording
Programmable Rhythm Guide drum track with Tone Load function
Insert/Loop effects with COSM Guitar Amp Modeling and Bass Simulator, plus new wah effects, guitar synth and Harmonist
New dedicated track EQ for all 8 playback tracks
Instrument/Hi-Z Instrument input, XLR and 1/4-inch Microphone inputs, plus stereo RCA Line input
USB port for .WAV/AIFF file exchange with PCs; S/PDIF digital output and built-in microphone and battery power for recording any time, any place

and here's a picture of it:

Should be arriving on Wednesday - oh happy days!!

Thanks and that's one of the frustrating things that I have not been able to post any clips of me playing.

I have been wanting to get something which could give a decent sound (at home) but could also do some recording so that I could post some clips and also do some backing tracks as well as give some of them to my students. I did consider getting a PODXT and also a digital recorder but this one caught my eye and I have been tracking it for a few days and just pounced on it.

So pretty soon guys you will be hearing me, as soon as I figure out how to turn the thing on!!
