FL studio 9, Boss Br1200?
FL studio 9, Boss Br1200?
Hi guys, i want to use my guitar effects from my boss br1200 when recording on my laptop. I have FL studio 9 and just purchased a presonus audio box. When i plug my electric guitar in my audio box, the guitar sound is not that good so i really want to use the guitar effects from boss br1200. How do i connect the multi tracker to Fl studio? Also anyone know how i can put songs or drums and other sounds from my br1200 to FL studio? Really am confused.

Re: FL studio 9, Boss Br1200?
I dont know everything about your kit, so with the help of some old SOS reviews of the BOSS units, I'll help you as best as I can.
It looks like the Boss unit has a USB interface that allows you to move files and songs from it onto a PC. So you could record your guitar into the Boss, make your songs then put the individual tracks into a file that you can then import into FL Studio. Its simple enough to drag and drop the imported WAV files into a FL Studio song set to the same tempo.
Give each file its own mixer channel by clicking on the sampler channel FL Studio will make for each file you drag over. Hey presto they are in your DAW.
Of course the WAV files can be dragged into any of FL Studios many processors like Slicex, Edison or be altered using the pitch / tempo change processors.
Presumably the BOSS allows you to mix tracks down to a stereo file. Likewise this can be put onto the computer via the USB, or a CD drive?
You might not want to do this unless you want to edit or master the stereo WAV mixes in FL Studio. This may or may not be an easier environment than your Boss unit - depends on what you are familiar with.
You could of course connect the ouputs of the Boss to the inputs of your Pro-Sonus sound card and record your songs into FL Studio, but this would be unecessary given you can just import WAV data via USB.
Your guitar will probably sound better recording into the Boss because you are using the onboard COSM effects. It will sound dry obviously recorded straight into FL Studio via the Pre-Sonus. However FL Studio does have its own Hardcore pedal board plug in that you could add to the recording channel - this might add latency though depending on your set up.
If you are happy with the Boss, then connect the stereo out to the Pre-Sonus ins, and record straight into FL Studio?
You could put you songs into FL Studio and still add the guitar parts later using this method, but once your backing is in place you may as well give recording straight into FL Studio a go - using the Hardcore guitar processing sim.
Hope some of this helps - I dont know the full spec of your kit.
