I worked in MANY recording studios in Hollywood/the Valley back in the 80's. If you were to buy all the capabilities of this little gizmo back then...it would have cost you thousands and thousands of dollars. Never mind the cost of the studio. It keeps getting better and cheaper. Great stuff.
by far one of thee best demo video on musical gear/equipment..NOT about the player but THE product..clearly & simply stated AND DEMONSTRATED... very well done and presented TWO thumbs UP !!
I've been looking for drums/looper/effects, and recorder for weeks. I had no idea this existed. I'm sure I'll be getting one soon due to your no frills, no bs teaching. You never got long-winded. Thank you for just showing us the useful functions. Thanks a Million bro!!!!!
Hi I just wanted you to know I e-mailed the Roland/Boss Backstage.And they added "How To Make Rthythm Track for the BR-80" in their Knowlege Base. They made it plain and clear with pics and straight forward instructions! If you registered your BR-80 then you can log on for free and get the info...Have a great one!
Thanks for your great video clips Michael, I bought the BR80 and have had some great times with it, I use a Yamaha keyboard instead of a guitar and the results are amazing. I back it up on the PC as a WAV file after Mastering in MTR mode which I can put on to CD, brill !!
Cheers to you Mike. Finally someone who knows how to explain this ripper piece of tech. Only waited 8 years! Don't worry I'm nearly 100 years old. Still plenty of time eh? Lol: Nice one!
You've probably figured it out by now but for those who haven't. -Make sure the song you want to master is selected (it will be if you just recorded it) -hit menu and select bounce/mastering -Tweak the necessary changes you want to make (skip this if you don't know what these functions do yet) -Hit record to arm the track -Hit play to master it down
Thank you Michael I am so glad I discovered these videos. I bought my BR 80s two years ago and the paper manual was really uncomfortable to read. There is nothing like watching someone going through the steps. I was somewhat afraid of the device. I think I will give it a try again.
Thank goodness you did these videos for the boss br br 80 they were such a help as found instructions in book confusing. Still cant figure out how to save song from mtr to send to eband mode.
I bought this and even following the manual I can not figure out how to make a drum rthythm track as B.j.Surfdog ask you about. I would also be very thankful for a how to video or even where to find one. I have looked everywhere on net.And even in the Backstage Knowlege Base on the Roland/Boss site,all they have is for the old Micro Br instructions for building drum rthythm (intro-verse-fill-break-ending) Thank you for your video`s!
The Boss Micro Br-80 recorder ships with an sd card that I believe has the “drivers” necessary for your Computer (assuming PC type) to be able to recognize this device. I have loaded the driver onto 2 computers, used the supplied usb cable ( small end for the recorder) and both the computer and my DAWs recognize the recorder as an audio interface. You can also transfer recorded files this way ( back and forth). NOTE: the unit records wave files at 16 bit- .
I received it for Christmas and now I am fully unlocked ! A fabolous gift, really ! I have all pedals (almost) I can play with the real Van Halen tone, AWESOME ! But the alimention is selled separatly... and the book is in English and German, no French version :'(
The boss br80 improved my recording quality the quality of the condenser microphone is amazing Bad thing Is that I can't access my dynamic mics The cord provided to use it for an audio interface is very short Are there longer cables you can get to put it in a more desirable location?
You can use a drum machine into it if your drum machine has a jack plug just push it into the guitar in. If not you can go with the small jack plug and push it into Line in for stereo. (This will use up two channels of the 8 if stereo. If it's an acoustic kit just use live record
Great Videos ! ( all of them) . Michael Elsner., are you able to do a video on how to do a drum background (intro-verse-chorus-end, etc) in the MTR mode?? it's a little deeper, i know, but there are numerous users like myselt that would find this to be a useful tutorial. Thanks for anything!
Great demo Mike, I was wondering: would there be any limitations in for the input of drum sounds from another drum machine? Would the Br-80 actually record external drum sounds or do you have to go with the preset sounds? Thanks.
So, say I'm putting together a song with the MTR by making up several melodies using different tracks, is it not possible to play along with the already recorded tracks to practice unless you export the mixdown and open it in the E.band function?
So you can't record multi-tracks using the external mics as an option?? I was hoping there was either the option to record multi-tracks on LIVE REC or a mic input option on MTR. You can't do multi-track recording using the external mic inputs. :(
Saludos amigo, necesito tu ayuda, cuantos instrumentos puede grabar al mismo tiempo? puedo grabar un concierto en vivo directo de la consola en estereo? cuanto tiempo graba sin parar?
So if you select "no category" does that mean you can line out your authentic amp sound directly into the Boss BR-80 via guitar cable? Can you even plug into it directly this way? If so, I'm buying.
How are you playing sound in this video? It doesn't have speakers - are you plugged into the BR80 then into an amp? I've owned this thing for 8 years and still can't figure out how to use it! Not having speakers really sucks
I bought one two days ago. Mine does not came with rhythms or song templates. The dealer don't know what is going on and Roland Portugal does not give me any answer. It's live. Lol. Oh, i must say that i've downloaded the opearating system from the Roland's site. It keep on same. No rhythm, no songs. May be i'm a little bit stupid.
Like so many of these videos, everything goes too fast and not well explained what he is doing. E.g. is the rhythm track part of the final mix, or just there as a guide? When it comes to the mixdown and mastering he just presses a couple of buttons and leaves it at that without really explaining what he is doing. Novices, like me, need a much more detailed step-by-step.
The MICRO BR BR-80 causes my 2018 Macbook Pro to crash when I plug in the USB. It gives the message- USB has been disabled. Disconnect the accessory that is using too much power. Anyone know a fix for this? As is, thye Micro BR-80 is useless.

I like it it's like you have a sound tech guy in the box lol

Hi Michael, your introduction of the BR-80 is so perfect and easy to understand that I really want one soon. Thumbs up :-)
I bought the BR-80 yesterday from Swee Lee guitar Shop and it is amazing. I have learnt something important from your lessons. Thank you very much
Cheers to you Mike. Finally someone who knows how to explain this ripper piece of tech. Only waited 8 years! Don't worry I'm nearly 100 years old. Still plenty of time eh? Lol: Nice one!
I,ve just bought a roland gr 55 this little device,which arrives next week will be awsome together.Great video,clear and to the point.Thanks
Was watching another tascam video and ran across this. This Boss appears to be worth looking into further! Thank you!!
You've probably figured it out by now but for those who haven't.

Well done Michael excellent demo, you’ve convinced me I’m buying one.
Excited to learn about the BR-80's MTR mode from Michael Elsner. Very useful informative video on BOSS MICRO
BR 80.
Thank you Michael I am so glad I discovered these videos. I bought my BR 80s two years ago and the paper manual was really uncomfortable to read. There is nothing like watching someone going through the steps. I was somewhat afraid of the device. I think I will give it a try again.

Thank for your help Michael!
thanks man. i have a boss br 80 but for now it was hocus pocus. so thanks for the clear information you give. Don. from the netherlands
Great set of videos. Nice and clear and informative. Great production too. Thanks very much.
Good video which helps to explain the basics of the BR80. There should be more thorough videos provided by Roland.
Yes Thanks Alot Michael! i have had mine just a couple of days now seems a Great little device am beginning to get the hang of it now.
I just found one of these for sale, barely used for $100 AUD. Waiting for the guy to message me back. These things are amazing
Excellent demo young man, simple and succinct.
Awesome and useful review. Well done dude. Thank you.
Beginning to get the hang of it now,nice little piece of kit 👌

best lil thing for recording song ideas & even arrangement ideas 4 new songs! not to mention practice!
Really well-structured & informative tutorial, brother. Thanks dude.

very useful demo. Must get one of these
great video showing effective use of using guitar for all guitarist lovers. must watch
You are currently running third in the all-time meaningless sentence contest. ;-)
I am looking at this little box for song writing. Good demo thanks
Thanks manThat’s the perfect exclamation
Thank you for your video. Is there possibility to add a track of accoustic instrument?
I received it for Christmas and now I am fully unlocked ! A fabolous gift, really !
I have all pedals (almost)
I can play with the real Van Halen tone, AWESOME !
But the alimention is selled separatly... and the book is in English and German, no French version :'(
The boss br80 improved my recording quality
the quality of the condenser microphone is amazing
Bad thing Is that I can't access my dynamic mics
The cord provided to use it for an audio interface is very short
Are there longer cables you can get to put it in a more desirable location?
Nice hair, Steve Perry. I can see you Don't stop Believing!!!!!!!!
very cool device, I've put up a couple tunes using this box
You can use a drum machine into it if your drum machine has a jack plug just push it into the guitar in. If not you can go with the small jack plug and push it into Line in for stereo. (This will use up two channels of the 8 if stereo. If it's an acoustic kit just use live record
Really good basic tutorial
Great Videos ! ( all of them) .
Michael Elsner., are you able to do a video on how to do a drum background
(intro-verse-chorus-end, etc) in the MTR mode?? it's a little deeper, i know, but there are numerous users like myselt that would find this to be a useful tutorial. Thanks for anything!
Do I have to connect to amplifier to get sound
all accessories are sold separately i believe
go to the boss website
Boss is owesome
Great demo Mike, I was wondering: would there be any limitations in for the input of drum sounds from another drum machine? Would the Br-80 actually record external drum sounds or do you have to go with the preset sounds? Thanks.
So, say I'm putting together a song with the MTR by making up several melodies using different tracks, is it not possible to play along with the already recorded tracks to practice unless you export the mixdown and open it in the E.band function?
yep you can, just make sure you change channel, but yes absolutely
Thank you very much for your fantastic video. Question: Is it possible to program the drums and/or change the factory patterns?
very nice to see the video
So you can't record multi-tracks using the external mics as an option?? I was hoping there was either the option to record multi-tracks on LIVE REC or a mic input option on MTR. You can't do multi-track recording using the external mic inputs. :(
I totally have to get one of these.
Saludos amigo, necesito tu ayuda, cuantos instrumentos puede grabar al mismo tiempo? puedo grabar un concierto en vivo directo de la consola en estereo? cuanto tiempo graba sin parar?
pether veliz martinez você pode gravar um instrumento por vez e pode gravar um concerto por 6 horas, se nao me engano no modo live rec.
So if you select "no category" does that mean you can line out your authentic amp sound directly into the Boss BR-80 via guitar cable? Can you even plug into it directly this way? If so, I'm buying.
how does it compare to the Tascam?
Very nice. I like it
Can you also use this with a bass guitar or keyboards to record them on separate tracks or is it just for guitar and vocals?
that is a cool little gadget
And what about telling us how to get a great sound through that box?
REALLY GREAT INVENTION
Can they BR80 be used with a keyboard
Thanks Mike, very helpful!
Does the Boss Micro Br 80 can record from a keyboard ?
Hi, is it possible to program the drum patterns on this machine or are they set patterns
Thanks
do you have to play the whole song in one go on guitar without messing up or can you copy paste verses ?
How are you playing sound in this video? It doesn't have speakers - are you plugged into the BR80 then into an amp? I've owned this thing for 8 years and still can't figure out how to use it! Not having speakers really sucks
Can you hook it up to your guitar amplifier
How do you save a song from MTR to eBand?
Trying to simply import a stereo MP3 to MTR and record some vocals over it... Why is this not covered anywhere?
It's a nice small recorder.
cool, it`s a great Box
I bought one two days ago. Mine does not came with rhythms or song templates. The dealer don't know what is going on and Roland Portugal does not give me any answer. It's live. Lol. Oh, i must say that i've downloaded the opearating system from the Roland's site. It keep on same. No rhythm, no songs. May be i'm a little bit stupid.
it's all direct means no latency...which what makes it great recorder
Didn't know this had built in recording software, Cakewalk Sonar.
how nice the video is!
wish you would did a lead track lol sounds good
Yes a little bit slower would help beginners,I had the korg d3200 at one time and it was far easier to operate.. I enjoyed demo thanks
hi micheal can the br 80 luop? i see that the br 800 has a luop.can you pls esplain.thank you.
If i load up a song in eBand that was preloaded, and I record a melody over it, how do I then transfer that whole song onto my computer?
Would this be useful for importing my own backing tracks and playing/singing over live?
RunReilly Yes you can 👍
How is the mixing done after you've recorded several tracks without faders?

How did Steve Perry get young again?
Like so many of these videos, everything goes too fast and not well explained what he is doing. E.g. is the rhythm track part of the final mix, or just there as a guide? When it comes to the mixdown and mastering he just presses a couple of buttons and leaves it at that without really explaining what he is doing. Novices, like me, need a much more detailed step-by-step.
See a manual
why doesnt my boss digital recorder playback the drums when i upload the song on my computer?
Will i be able to adjust the volume/pan while i record the second track over the first one?

How do I save a song to e-band because I can't find it

I have one, it just depends how you use them.
How do you record from a sound mixer without using the built in mics as background noises are being picked up?
Jules Gordon, The unit has a stereo line input for bringing any stereo signal into the DR-80
a perfect video
Hi,this is "E" I recently bought this unit but I need someone to explain me how to get this far in advance and your video just help me out,Thank you

Is there any latency on the recording?
