Hi,
Thanks for all the great information, it’s helping me get around some of the finer details of this great little gadget.
Can anyone explain the differences in the various “mastering” effects/options that the BR provides. I’m still a bit stumped as to which one to choose, as I don’t know the qualities they provide.
Thanks.

re: Sony ECMDS70P and loads of hum.
Just to update, I had the BR along to my group’s last practice. The hum thing that I experienced at home didn’t happen at our practice venue. I think it may be down to crappy mains power at home. Initial impressions of the Sony ECMDS70P are pretty good. I used it with a 6m extension lead and stuck it in the middle of the practice room. Had to set the sens to the lowest, but I’m quite pleased with the results. As always the drums tend to dominate (aarrrgh!!), but I’ll play about with positioning.
One thing REALLY bugs me. Each time a new song is created the phantom power is off by default. Caught me out a couple of times.

Hi there people, just bought one of these things. I’m a guitar player and am having MASSIVE difficulty getting my head around the whole interface!! I’d appreciate any help you can give me….. like, why, when I just want to play or select a drum part, is it automatically dumped onto my song??

to tmon yep iuse the intermorfhic too. and the http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/bossmicrobr/
in neoaudio you can simply use a bunch of songs to encode at a time.e.g.lay in a cd with wav-files,then name the cd(for mp3-format on the screen),name the songs ,mark the songs you like to encode and start encoding.i even encoded my old cassettes and LP’s in vinyl cu detharp

No, it appears to still be freeware. I was being “facetious” and meant to say that “freeware = good!” Thanks for the tip!

I’m going to try it out…can I batch transcode a folder of .wav files to mp3? That’s what I’m interested in doing. In Sound Forge, I think I have to do each one one at a time. Kind of a pain.

Detharp,

NEO Audio looks pretty good, and the price is right!

RE: 1GB limitation.

If you read through the increasingly longer board, many users have confirmed that there is a 1GB read/write limitation on the Micro BR. The Micro BR will only use 1GB of your SD card, even if the capacity of the card exceeds 1GB.

How can we “pressure/lobby” Roland to give us a firmware update to address better file playback options (playlisting) and memory card usage?
