Boss BR-900CD Digital Recording Studio, 8-track W / CD-R / W
Boss BR-900CD Overview:
The Small-but-Mighty Studio with Built-in Burner
The BOSS BR900CD is the musician's portable dream studio. Its road tough, fun to use, and it performs far beyond its weight class. This reliable all-in-one digital recorder stands out with its professional effects, realistic drum-pattern generator, vocal-correction and Mastering Tool Kit, digital output, and internal CD burner. No matter where you are - in your home studio or on the road - all you'll need is a BR-900CD, and you can write, record, edit, mix, master, and burn a complete polished CD anywhere, anytime.
With the same reliable and ultra-friendly operation as BOSS's highly popular BR-864, the BR900CD takes three big steps forward by increasing the front-panel fader count from four to eight, and adding a built-in CD-RW drive and Pitch Correction to the feature set. The BR-900CD is compatible with CompactFlash cards up to 1GB capacity, which provides up to 624 minutes of record time (standard mode) in one shot. Even with all of this great new feature, the unit's footprint remains small for ease of travel.
Proudly displaying the BOSS logo, the BR900CD offers a lineup of quality effects that are worthy of the legendary name. In addition to the time-tested standards (reverb, EQ, chorus, delay), you'll find additional pro-quality effects, such as vocal pitch-correction, intelligent harmony, bass simulation, pedal wah, COSM®-powered guitar amp and compressor models, and mastering tools.
Songwriters will love the BR-900CD's built-in rhythm programmer, packed with 294 expressive patterns. Use these realistic backing tracks as inspiration for both writing and recording. You can even customize your own beats using the handy Tone Load function.
Connect the BR900CD to the outside world with one convenient USB connection. Import and export audio files and song data quickly and easily. Need to add some drum loops or vocal samples to your song? Simply drag and drop your favorite WAV files from USB-equipped computer directly into the BR-900CD. Conversely, you can export audio that you've created internally on the BR900CD to computers.
