Just my self.  I guess I want to start making grooves and stuff just for fun.  And while doing so will help my creativity and timing.  Recording helps those two aspects of your playing out...

THIS IS A HIJACKING EVERYBODY ON THE GROUND!!

...not that i have  your attention, can I use a digital recorder like the Boss BR 600 as a pedal of sorts? there are some effects that i like, but wonder could I record to someone's track using the BR600 as an effect pedal?

guess nobody cares about my question  .  lol. got my answer anyway, I used the cosm effects to record to protools and it went awesome. the producer eq'd it as well and the end sound was really cool.

man i like it. im not fully utilizing it like i should be, but for simple stuff it works great. and if you ever move up to more complex recording, it can do that too. reason i got it (traded for it actually) was i like to pound out my own drum patterns, and it has the drum pads.

got a lot of different effects and bass simulators. even got some vocal effects too. its really a great piece of gear for scratch recording. look on craigslist see if you can get a used one cheaper though.

so how would you use this item with your protools and what type of protools are you using with it?

***since you're not on here alot I gotta get my questions in lol***

man fire away bro, im on here just about everyday, just not always able to type in.

wasnt my studio. local producer here in memphis and he's pretty much got everything. im sure he has some advanced version of pro tools and he was wizzing around on it pretty quickly. i asked him how long he's been using it and he said 10 years. i mean theres a lot of stuff on there, and he seems to have invested a lot of time and money and really got it down. i just plugged ito the br600 and ran the cord out of the headphone jack to his setup and did as i was told.

i also know a guy who has just got a laptop, pro tools, a mixer, and some monitors, and makes some pretty cool stuff. i will say that almost everybody i see uses another program for drums, then dumps them into protools.

thats kinda why i went with a digital recorder, because i knew at the time i wasnt gonna get that deep into it. and if i upgrade to pro tools or cubase or something, i can export as .wav files from the br600 to pro tools so ill still be able to use it.

cool man I appreciate that lil bit of insight.  My experience with recording started out with my amp and such, but due to some hiss from my amp my setup was kinda like yours.  The guy pretty much gave me a sound, which was kinda cool i guess...

But anywho thanks bro!
