BOSS BR-900CD Portable Digital Studio at a Glance:
  • Upgraded digital recorder with CD burner and CompactFlash storage
  • Quality effects processor enhances tracks
  • Built-in rhythm programmer makes creating drum tracks easy
  • USB connection to transfer audio to and from your computer


Upgraded digital recorder with CD burner and CompactFlash storage
With the same reliable and ultra-friendly operation as BOSS's highly popular BR-864, the BR-900CD takes three big steps forward by increasing the front-panel fader count from four to eight, and adding a built-in CD-RW drive and Pitch Correction to the feature set. The BR-900CD is compatible with CompactFlash cards up to 1GB capacity, which provides up to 624 minutes of record time (standard mode) in one shot. Even with all of these great new features, the unit's footprint remains small for ease of travel.

Stellar studio effects enhance your tracks
Proudly displaying the BOSS logo, the BR-900CD offers a lineup of quality effects that are worthy of the legendary name. In addition to the time-tested standards (reverb, EQ, chorus, delay), you'll find additional pro-quality effects, such as vocal pitch-correction, bass simulation, pedal wah, COSM®-powered guitar amp and compressor models, and mastering tools.

Built-in rhythm programmer makes creating drum tracks easy
Songwriters will love the BR-900CD's built-in rhythm programmer, packed with 294 expressive patterns. Use these realistic backing tracks as inspiration for both writing and recording. You can even customize your own beats using the handy Tone Load function.

Transfer audio to and from your computer via USB
Connect the BR-900CD to the outside world with one convenient USB connection. Import and export audio files and song data quickly and easily. Need to add some drum loops or vocal samples to your song? Simply drag and drop your favorite WAV files from USB-equipped computer directly into the BR-900CD. Conversely, you can export audio that you've created internally on the BR-900CD to computers.


BOSS BR-900CD Portable Digital Studio Features:
  • Built-in CD-burner and Mastering Tool Kit
  • 8 simultaneous playback tracks, 2 simultaneous recording tracks with 8 V-tracks (64 V-Tracks total)
  • 2 XLR inputs with phantom power, plus 1/4" and RCA inputs, and digital out

The best recording unit avalible

by Robert Purdy from Duluth MN
January 6, 2009
Music Background: Student of Guitar 8 years (Rock, blues, jazz, classical)(also sax, and keys)
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.

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
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.
