The stiff clarity of this review is actually very refreshing

Love the simple logical workflow and design in 1010 equipment

I pre-ordered my BlueBox and can't wait for it to get here. I have limited table space and this will solve a lot of my problems.

What a concise, clear review. Subscribed.

As per usual with your videos, well structured, clear and concise information. Many thanks!

[GuitarsAndSynths]

Superb overview and tutorial! You really have me wanting an OP-1 now. Definitely looks amazing way to record and mix all the modular synths and boxes in my studio.

Thank you for doing this video. It saved me a lot of time and headache from pressing buttons and twisting knobs. I'm not lost anymore lol.

Thanks for the review! I hope 1010 adds looping.

Great review. Thanks for diving deep on this one. It’s a unique bit of kit. I could see going to someplace cool (cabin in the woods, seaside rental, etc.). and using this to record. 😀

Great video! You mention at the end about it potentially becoming an interface, is this likely? Seems a bonkers missed opportunity that it isn’t already - however, if this really is on the cards in a future update it would be a must buy…

Failing that, how easy is it to upload the audio tracks to logic after recording? If this is easy that’s still a nice alternative.

I’ve been interested in the Tascam Model12 for a while but the compact nature of this appeals and has made me think twice!

Nice review👍Just a couple of quick questions:

- can the Squarp Pyramid work as a controller for the midi functions into the Bluebox, and/or receive and record midi if it's the master sequencer/clock?

- also, are all takes saved as .wav files? and with regards to making a master track can you record any number of new tracks while already recorded tracks(takes) are playing, and then re-record your set of desired takes with master effects and EQ for a master track? Thanks!

Excellent review, a weird thing about this recorder though; in newer firmware, the track recordings are recorded post EQ, Fader, and Mutes, meaning that as soon as you play your tracks back, they’re being EQ’d a second time. 😼

Hello Ollie, keep coming on your channel expecting new content. Nope ! I miss you !

[badoverman]

Thanks for the overview! If I plug 6 TRS cables into the inputs, can I still record 12 tracks? All my audio sources are from a 6-channel DI unit which sends anything I need to record.

[emilymacdonald-korth]

Great video. Thanks so much for making it. Toward the end, when you mention the lack of certain functions, what do you mean by multichannel wav files? I understood that recording multiple channels at the same time would results in multiple tracks in the SD card...in other words separate wav files/ stems to work with in a DAW. Are you saying otherwise?

Great tutorial, I have a question that hopefully you can answer, let's say I'm playing live, at the end of a song I want to change to a new project but I want to keep a synth (lyra-8) playing in the background while I prepare the next project, my question is, if I change project there is a small pause that prevent any sound to go out for a second?

[makiszeg]

hey very nice review.is it possible to connect two bluebox to work as one mixer 24 channels?

[equinoxpete]

Can you record lead and background vocals. guitar, keys? I know this is for primary beat box users, but I was looking to put together musical song ideas quickly without using my computer. I do care about sound quality, but I think this can pull it off. Please advise. Thank You

[stefantielsch]

Nice, but track edit features.. cut, move, exchange..would be a big improvement for me.

[IMakeBeats]

I was hoping you would show how to record in a finished song from the blackbox into the blue box! I myself would want to have my kick on it’s own track, bass on its own track etc.

but if I’ve created a song on the blackbox, how do we get all the instruments 🎻 from the blackbox onto its own tracks so we can EQ THEM separately? I have a blackbox and have been looking for a way to better master my songs.

I’m still not clean on the transfer process from the blackbox as a completed song to the blue box for proper mixing and mastering?🤔
