This is the perfect recording tool for the guitar player who does not want to go to a computer recording solution. Press record, press play, and that's it! The BR-900CD also has a built-in drum machine so you can get your groove on. This unit brings all of the COSM technology Boss has to offer in a small portable package. "Easy" is the key word with this unit. Once you're done you can burn a CD and give it to your music buddies or play it in your car. If you are computer savy, this unit does have USB for easy file transfers.

For the last 8 years I have been playing rock n' roll and blues, and wanted to start getting into recording music that I wrote, or covered. As I explored the numerous recording units, the boss system ... read more [+]popped out at me. The reviews were good on all the units so I looked into them. I was going to by the 1600cd for more recording space, and more tracks, but my wallet held me back, so I bought the BR900cd. When got it, I was expecting a good unit, but nothing amazing. I opened the box, breifed on the rather large manual and figured some of it out. For the first week took a little while to get used to and sometimes drove me nuts, but after that, recording became a breeze. I am also very happy with the sound quality, settings, and the ability to produce a cd right in my small bedroom studio. I am very happy the reliability, and the fine quality. If you're not sure if this is the recording purchase for you, buy it. close [-]

Sounds great with a condesor mic and a tube pre-amp. You should pick these items up along with the unit. I would have given this a 5 star but the drums are not really that great. I used the bass ca ... read more [+]bnets and it sounded superb. Nice smooth tone that fills your mix. Pretty straight forward recording with alot to discover. The onboard mic is a nice touch.
