Hey Ricig, lend me your ears please.

Hi people

A little CW thought. When I was using the gt 10 I did not hear it, mind you tho I never did any recordings with the 10, just used it with a tube poweramp.

Ok to keep me entertained until I get my hands on the 100 I bought the br 80. I did a little recording with it via usb using stock presets and high gain. No post processing

Please tell me people if you can hear the CW cause if you do, I must be going deaf ;o) And you Ricig listen your a$$ off and tell me if you hear it.

Thanks

Sounds good to me, i can't hear any CW, but if it does have CW, then CW is fine by me..

[Geiri]

Hey gummy these are my thoughts also, if this is the dreaded CW then I'm one of those who like that sound. Thanks for checking it out.

1:15 and 1:23, maybe others, but I'm one of those that likes it, so I'm not going to complain. Good work. -Rod-

Sounds good with my iPhone app! Love the tune

Are the drums from the BR80?

If yes they are better than the one in my Micro BR

[Geiri]

Thanks guys

Nope the drums are EZ drummer. I recorded with garageband and used the br as an audio interface. I was planning to use it for recordings but I don't like to flip back and forth through pages so I just used garageband.

Have you used the included Sonar/Cakewalk LE program that came bundled with the BR? I have been thinking of picking up either a BR 80 or BR 800 because I like the format more than my ZOOM. Comments on the BR?

[Geiri]

Hi Lasky, nice to see you again.

No I haven't used sonar since it is strictly pc based and I'm using a mac. But essentially all these daws are basically the same in the core principles so sonar or garageband it's all good with the br's.

The reason I didn't go for the 800 was that there is a wonderful drum editor available. But you have to connect to a computer to use it and that kinda defeats the purpose of a standalone recorder for me.

When I begun speculating recording again I was hell bent on a standalone recorder since a couple of years ago my computer got stolen and all my music about 24 tracks in various stages was in there. And I had no back up. Therefore computers were evil and I wanted a standalone unit.

I was very intrigued by the 800 but what killed it for me was the screen and the size of the unit. If I was going to be tied to a computer I didn't need the 800's bell and whistles. I have the EZ drummer so in the end I just needed to transfer my guitar into the computer and that's it.

But the 80 has proven to be so much more than just that. Eband is brilliant I had no idea how badly I suck at guitar until I tried that one ;o) The live rec is amazing too, the two condenser mic's are very good for recording acoustics, I haven't tried the vocal tools yet but I have no doub't that they are up to the job as the rest of this unit is. It's size allows me to take it anywhere and record/practice or just play along at anytime.

I love it and it's probably the most fun and at the same time the most useful guitar related gadget I've bought in years. Can't recommend it enough. But I have no doubt that the 800 is about ten times better but since I have to use the computer, well, I have no need for all the extra bells and whistles.

Sorry for the long rant but I hope this helps in some way. If you need more info just ask.

What i like about the BR-80 for recording the odd session is that you can use the stereo built-in mics, and use the line-in from the desk at the same time (mixed to 2 tracks).

You can put your favourite tracks in there and play along to them, with a set of phones and the BR-80 in your pocket.

It can be USB connected to a laptop and used as an Audio interface.

I honestly hear only a bit of CW on one particular chord you play; but I'm not sure how to point out that oneout to you as it goes by rather quickly. I do hear quite a bit of fizz though...more like a wash of white noise in the presence range. But seriously, it's such a good little piece I shouldn't criticize any of it! Like others have already said, even if some CW is there, it sounds good!

Did you use the MS High Gain and/or the Recto Vintage preamp for the rhythms?
