Easy Multitrack Recording
The BR 1600CD includes eight sweet-sounding XLR microphone inputs with phantom
power. Use them to mic up a drum set or to record your entire band in a single
pass. Recording eight tracks at once is easy, thanks to a new “Multi-Track” recording
mode—just pick your inputs and start recording while taking advantage
of powerful channel effects like a compressor, 3-band EQ and bass cut filter.
Superb Guitar and Vocal Effects
Plug into the Boss BR 1600CD and you’ve got an arsenal
of world-class BOSS effects ranging from reverb, delay and modulation to the
latest modeling effects for guitar, bass and vocals. These include powerful
overdrive/distortion and amp modeling identical to the BOSS GT-6, acoustic
and bass effects, plus mic modeling and a new Vocal Tool Box. This special
algorithm includes auto pitch correction to keep you in tune, plus a Harmony
Sequence function for creating realistic harmonies—no background singers
needed!
Build Your Own Backing Tracks
The BR-1600CD now includes separate Drum, Bass and Loop Phrase tracks for creating
complete backing arrangements. The Drum and Bass tracks come with high-quality

can choose from a collection of loop phrases pre-loaded onto the hard disk.
Using these tracks, you can build professional-quality arrangements for your
guitar and vocals.
Complete Connectivity with USB and V-LINK
The BR-1600CD’s USB port makes it easy to load .WAV/AIFF files into a
track, or export your audio for further editing in software or data backup.
