Boss Micro Br - Recording On A Budget

I am not a good musician. I am self taught and do it for fun. Made this video for others that would like to record their stuff, but are on a shoe string budget.

The music that is on the video was all made from using the effects, drum patterns & mix/master effects from the boss micro br. Since recording this music I have made the changes mentioned in the video to my set up and it has made a huge difference in the over all tone of the music.

This vid barely touches on what can be done with the Micro Br. I have recently also started using an Alesis SR-16 and the drum tracks are getting much better.

My current set up is (''Not Featured'' means not included in the video audio sample):
Boss Micro Br
Alesis Sr-16 (not featured)
Behringer UB802 (not featured)
ART TubeMP preamp (Used as Bass DI)
Randall G2 Series 1/2 stack (not featured)
Randall RX20D (Not Featured)
Ampeg BA112 (Not Featured)
Aria Pro Bass
ESP/LTD Viper 100FM
Boss Metal Zone, NS-2, SD-1 (not featured)
MXR Phase 90 (Not Featured)
Crybaby wah (not featured)

Feel free to shoot any questions you may have and I will try my best to answer them

Are you looking at having them export as seperate files or one file i.e. one mp3 file or seperate WAV files?

CONTINUED FROM BELOW--------- ..... THEN...... to mix and master, I run a 1/8 cable from my computer audio outs back into the br's 1/8'' input and select the mastering features, while still being able to adjust volume levels via the software. I mix down using a pair of KRK rokit 8s. I started doing it this way so I could get drums, lead guitar, lead vox & back up vocals recorded. I'm using sony acid 7 for software

Yeah, the builtin mic peaks out really quick if turned up loud. if using an external mic, a preamp with phantom power is best for condenser mics. Its a cool little machine, freezes up if you bounce too much. What I am doing now is using recording software and keeping the BR as almost the interface. I record all parts.... bass, guitar vox etc into the br then export each seperate tracks as a wav or mp3 file and then import them into the software for additional tracks

@StephenDeadToLife No problem. Benn sick for a couple of weeks, once I am better I will have a new recording posted that will feature vocals & all amps mic'ed, so no on board effects. The drums will also be an external source.

hey dude, how do you master a song then get it onto ur pc?

[TSDC2010]

@StephenDeadToLife ---Very Easy, press ''Exit & Utility'' at the same time, once to go to ''bounce'', twice to go to ''master''. Choose which master setting you like and then press record @ your desired starting point, press stop when the song is done. You will be asked mp3 or wav, chose which ever you like and the export. How I get the music from the BR is simple, I remove the SD card and insert it into the SD card port on my computer. It also has a USB port. Hope that helps.

how can i export all 4 tracks all together? it only lets me export 2 at max at the same time. (1&2) or (3&4)

Great video!! got a micro br last week and am playing around with it. I really like it. Mic volume is very low though. I guess i need to get a preamp... You can hear a song i recorded on it(my channel's current featured video - dig for gold). keep on making music!!! :)
