Recording By Myself

I first thought I couldn't use this with my KORG Trition Studio Workstation because the BR-1600 CD had been updated since I had last purchased one from you, but I found that I indeed could, with the u... read more [+]se of two guitar cables instead of two MIDI cables, so now, again, without much time lapse since my first BR-1600 CD, I am recording again. This saves me from paying for studio time, and I can call all the shots! Thank you for being the way you are! I'm spreading the word around! close [-]

This is the second BR-1600 CD I have owned. Both are spectacular as

I got one of these about 7 years ago, and it served me well until I wore it out. I just ordered another one shortly before my birthday, and it greatly matches the other one. At first I thought since... read more [+] there had been a little change with the product that it wouldn't work with my keyboard because it doesn't have MTC, but my doubt was put to rest, and I could continue recording at home. Many thanks to everyone at Sweetwater!!! close [-]

Boss BR1600

Music Background: Guitar player for about 40 years now...
I upgraded from a Boss BR-8 to a BR1600 about a year ago. In the past I have used my computer and several different software packages to record but seemed to always be trying to figure out how to make... read more [+] something work, too much time on the computer and too little time to play my guitar. With the BR1600 (and the BR-8 ) it is so easy and fast, the first time I turned it on, I stayed with it l all day and when I turned it off, I already had one of my songs recorded, mixed, and burned to CD. One more thing, I had concerns about the CD burner as I was using a tascam professional burner. The CD burn Quality on the BR1600 sounds every bit as good when compared with a CD burn from my professional unit. All that said, I give this unit the highest rating! close [-]

Absolutely amazed by the personal service on our order! It is obvious customer satisfaction is a priority. Your company would be the first place we would look for music related items. Great prices, great service and BTW, even the little touch of adding some candy made my kids very pleased! Thank you!
