Don't bother,
By Jim Rac (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: BOSS BR-1180 Quick Guide (Paperback)
This book is for all intents and purposes a recording primer. I could see it possibly being useful to someone who has absolutely zero recording experience, but that's about it. Since there's a ton of basic recording articles already available out there on the web, this book's recording-related contents can be had for free by doing some surfing or by hanging out at the Home_Recording Yahoo group for a couple of days. As far as its coverage of the BR1180 goes, if you've already attempted to record one or two songs on the unit and have read the manual through once or twice - and that's how I recommend you approach learning this unit - you've already learned more than this book will ever teach you. The author ducks the difficult topics - at one point saying something like, "Don't try to bounce, it's too complicated"!!! Again, you're time would be better spent hanging out at the BR1180 Yahoo group.

Good For Starters,
This review is from: BOSS BR-1180 Quick Guide (Paperback)
If you are new to the Boss BR-1180 multi-track recorder, this book might speed up the learning curve. It covers basic operation and gives examples of different ways to record specific to the BR 1180. If you already know the ins and outs of your recorder, you probably won't get much from this book. I would recommend it as an easier to understand supplement to the owners manual. If you're looking for a good home recording book, I recommend Home Recording For Musicians For Dummies.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Tough book to understand,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: BOSS BR-1180 Quick Guide (Paperback)
You'd better be a real genuine technical person if you want to figure out everything that the BOSS BR-1180 will do, from reading this so called "Quick Guide" book. There surely must be something written that's a lot more understandable than this book. "Quick Guide" is the last title I would give this book !
