Multi-effects and COSM models

The BR-1200CD is equipped with a powerful multi-effects processor derived from the famous BOSS GT-6/GT-6B. A lineup of COSM models include the world-standard Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus R-FIier Vintage Metal Stack BOSS Compact Pedal models such as OD-1 and MT-2 and more. COSM Mic Models emulate expensive condenser mics. Correct pitch and add harmonies with the Vocal Tool Box and for the finishing touch tap into the Mastering Tool Kit to put a pro-quality polish on your tracks.

Backing band built in

Another distinguishing feature of the BR-1200CD is its world-class bass and drum programmer packed with instruments and patterns to suit a variety of styles. Realistic acoustic drums and percussion are included as well as many electronic sounds to compose modern hybrid types of music. For bass you can choose from a variety of bass sounds such as slapped basses picked basses and fretless basses. Jam along with the supplied patterns or create your own from scratch.

simplicity

I have used this devise for over half a year with absolutly no problems. This is a perfect starter studio and will set you on the right path to the "big time," digital recorders. It is perfect for highschool musician, being one myself. This devise could be worked by a first grader and i am confidents that it will be very effective and easy. The one problem with this devise, for me at least, is the memory capacity. Although it can handle about 20 songs, unless you back it onto a more powerful hard-drive, you will run in to problems frequently filling up your memory.

A great 12 track recorder for the price!

This is a remarkable unit for the price! Over the years I have used several Boss BR recording units and everyone has been a great value for the price. The BR1200CD is no exception. The BR1200CD is a hard disc recorder that is packed with usable features. The unit is a 12-track recorder that has a 40GB hard drive. The BR1200CD has very usable effects (especially for the guitar). The drum patter generator is usable but I would not use them for a final mix. I found that using the drum generator to make a drum scratch track was a very useful feature. I also liked using the drum generator as a practice feature to help a guitarist develop better timing. The BR1200CD is built sturdy so it should be usable for many years if treated properly. The recording quality is fantastic (I have almost recorded an entire album of material on one of these recorders). The unit also has a mastering toolkit which is very usable. The BR1200CD also can burn a CD of your mix when you are finished. The BR1200CD even has pitch correction. With all of these features a person could have a small little studio in a box and achieve very good results. The BR1200CD is simple to use. With all of these points in mind a person could enter into the world of recording with this unit very easily without much hassle or breaking the bank. I highly recommend the BR1200CD.

Easy to Use!

When i bought this recorder a few years ago I didn't have a clue how to run a digital recorder because I mainly used software to record I had to read the manual a few times,but once you catch on its a peice of cake like every roland product...once you learn the roland language you can use any roland product Roland/Boss is the most user friendly equipment and its made to last the only downfall is the price I think around $700 is more reasonable

Complete mini-studio

I've been using it for almost a year and every time it was a joy to discover features, sounds and put together musical ideas. I'm an intermediate level guitar player but I also play the flute and piano. the br1200 has good rhythm pre-sets, fair vocal and guitar effects and is easy to work with. Easy to upload songs, burn CDs, multiple connection options, amp modeling, etc. It fits well in a regular room (I use Roland digital amp'd speakers). It also fitted well with my budget - payed in 12 months no interest with local Guitar Center store.

Works Like Magic

Overall, well worth the buy. Guitar effects make a lot of background noise. Drums are great but the bass could be better. Very user friendly and easy to use.
