Thanks SOOOO MUCH for this video, I'm a former professional trumpeter who has been recording on the Roland BR-1600 for many years and I could not figure out how to export & import my recordings to my new iPad 13 mini. Previously, in order to convert a recording of mine to an mp3, I had to burn it onto a CD-R disc on my JVC CD Player /Burner, then insert it into my PC - DVD-RW drive, then rip it with my Windows 10 media player as an mp3. I'll have to buy the correct USB connector and try it. Thanks again, John Stefan🎺🎶
Nice Job, Lots of feeling, PS, you do sound like Elvis with a special individual touch. You obviously sang professionally at one time? Thanks for , John Stefan (trumpet)
You sang this beautiful song "Equally" as well as Elvis. You sing with "SOUL." I knew it wasn't Elvis because I'm a former professional Trumpeter who played with many Pop/Rock groups such as Frankie Valli & The 4 Seasons, Jay & The Americans and Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels. "I Enjoyed your version very much." Ironically, I had just recorded "You'll Never Walk Alone" as a Trumpet solo, If you get a chance, check it out on my RU-vid channel ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZMsp28cidRY.html. Thanks for sharing - John Stefan 🎺🎷🎵
I love that you're still working with this old gear. 😁I have a Boss BR-600 I got in minty condition three years ago. It sounds nice and imparts a feeling that I can't get on my computers.
Thanks a lot for sharing this video! In all my close to 25 years with midi, I’ve never seen such a cool, hard drive saving technique! This is far more valuable out the gate than any of the devices’ weight in gold! 🎉💯🎯🤯
Hi, Great video!-Is this possible with all Ipad models do you know and what is the model of the Ipad you are using? I have several Boss 1600 units and this would be really useful to know-Thanks!
I have an old BR 864 and a TASCAM 32SD. The BOSS is better in my opinion. I would have bought a new BOSS but they stopped making them. I like the built in drums with the BOOS and built in guitar effects and built in vocal effects. I think the recordings so far just sound better out of the BOSS too. The only thing so far that I like better about the TASCAM 32SD is there are more tracks so you don't have to bounce as much. Maybe the TASCAM will grown on me though, idk. So far, the BOSS recordings are more crisp and punchy. Possibly because of the preset guitar amplifier modeler thingy and separate built in drums.
I have a 2488 mk2 it's old but i was thinking of trying the 2488neo firmware with it as the mk2 has ide. The Tascam 2488neo has software to make sata hardrives work on the Tascam 2488neo. but i think the 2488mk2 and the 2488neo is the same machine. i tried a startech ide to CF card adapter and it failed to recognize the CF card. Dont think there is any mods for stable hardrives at present .
I think all of that is nice. A solid state drive in those machines would be real nice, but I guess if one of my 2488's hard drive crashes I would put a ide spinning drive back in it.
I do think Roland VS Series are the best. This just completes a collection. Tascam is the first to the home multitrack recording and they are the simplest to use. I would still like to have the Roland VS-1880. I also have coming to me is the Tascam 564 4 Track minidisc recorder
Good job all considered! Too bad Roland did not do a similar recording... Fortunately you made your series that covered basics ... And it was understandableI got a video series that was soooo complicated that I gave up. You gave me hope! I also use a BR-600, which is easier to use, and a Yamaha MT120 and a MD8, both much easier to use! Thank you!
putting the effect on is a little bit confusing. I understand it is very familiar for you but I have no idead what post fader and knobs you are pushing in between words..
Bought my vs880ex yesterday (22 april 2023) for almost nothing and is in excellent condition. Had to choose from a yamaha aw16g and the roland....which was twice the price. No brainer after reading some of both manuals. Thx for this "getting started" tutorial. Its a very complicated maschine but I am sure its a gem if you can find your way with this recorder.
Just bought one yesterday..22 april 2023 ..a vs880ex....which must be almost 30 years old and still in excellent condition. It has a working HD and expansion board. I am making music for 45 years now and every boss or roland product I ever bought is still working and of premium quality. This workstation is a machine to learn but when you understand it it will give you back a smile..and some good sound of course...
@@hsjmusic thanks!! The optical cable is ok, the unit have some problem, bad reading, slow, and sometimes not read the disc, i cant find the optical unit 😢, few years ago are available in aliexpress (have a item but is paused) but now, no (sorry for my bad english, im brazilian 😕)
Nothing beats the BR1600, and I’ve had almost all multitracks, I wish Boss would have continue upgrading it, at least improved it to 24bit but overall it’s the multitrack I’ve been the most productive with, especially compared to using computers. Boss bring it back please!
Good stuff, man. I know these videos are quite old already, but they've been useful for me. I have been working on getting my 25+ year-old 880EX up and running, and I finally did. Now, of course, I'm having to reacquaint myself with its recording mechanics, as I haven't used it in over 15 years. It's an old machine, but quite fitting for an old dog like me. BTW, I dig the music. Sounds like a nice, chill country tune.
Is this guy brain dead? Ew can barely open it! It looks small? No, that’s what Alap steel looks like. And he just ends it suddenly. I just sat here like an idiot watching another idiot open a box!
