The Boss Works for Me!
Very user-friendly!! The tutorial manual is easy to understand, and within a few attempts, I was recording! The sound is awesome..full and rich! It actually makes me sound better than I really do, so I can't fault that! It's lightweight compared to some brands. Also, there are many options/features on it, such as the drum and rhythm section, that I haven't even tried yet. I've only done the guitar, mandolin/vocal thing, but I love having all these channels for harmonies, drums, and whatever else I'd want to record.

Professional recording made easy!!!
I have used the Boss BR1600 for several years and am impressed with this unit. There is a little learning curve (at least for me being an analog man), but the instructions are laid out well and easy to understand. I especially like being able to master everything then cut a CD -- and in a fraction of the time it takes using outside sources. The quality is great, and I don't believe the user can go wrong with this unit. I have one at work (school) and just bought one for myself for my own work and recordings at home. In the music classroom, this has been a really valuable tool, and in the home recording studio it does everything I need and more. This is a quality product and a very worthwhile investment, and it's a great addition to my studio.

The Boss BR-1600CD can do it all.
This purchase was for my second unit for my hobby studio. The quality it can produce is awesome! Unit # 1 is still going strong after 132 recorded songs.
