I bought this around last year and never used it once, I payed R3500 for it but shortly after the purchase got given another studio mixer by a friend.
It comes with the 32mb smart media card.
If you look at a few reviews on the net you'll see that this studio mixer is one of the best with a lot of features that very expensive studio's have.
Whoever said "You can't take it with you" probably hadn't seen the Boss BR-532. This affordable studio-in-a-box gives guitarists and songwriters professional 4-track digital recording in a lightweight, easy-to-use package that even runs on batteries. And it comes loaded with 32 Virtual Tracks, a Rhythm Guide drum track with plenty of Preset patterns, plus convenient SmartMedia storage and onboard effects like COSM Guitar Amp Modeling. There's even an XLR Mic input and Optical Digital output! So next time you've got the urge to write music, do it the easy way. Do it with the Boss BR-532.
Everything You'd Expect from Boss�
Boss products are regarded as some of the most user-friendly around, and the BR-532 is no exception. Designed to operate like a tape-based 4-track, this digital studio is both easy-to-use and powerful - thanks to a full complement of editing features including Copy, Paste, Move, and Undo. And because it's digital, there's no waiting for tape to rewind; just hit a Locator and you're there!
�Including Killer Boss Effects
With Insert and Loop effects processors built in, all you need is your guitar and a microphone to make professional recordings. Just select a COSM Guitar Amp Model for tones ranging from bluesy to hard rock. Don't have a bass? Just use the onboard Bass Simulator. And there's plenty of superb quality reverb, delay, and flanging to spice up vocals or drums.
COSM Modeling Inside
The BR-532's COSM Amp Modeling is the only modeling method capable of accurately reproducing every aspect of the target amp, so whether you want a vintage JC-120 for jazz sounds or adrenaline-pumping stack sounds, you can plug in direct to the Hi-Z input and get great tone every time.
Four Tracks and Beyond
Hiding beneath the BR-532's 4 playback tracks are 32 Virtual Tracks, any of which can be used for recording. This gives you plenty of room for extra solos or alternate takes. And since the onboard Rhythm Guide is separate, it's like having a fifth track dedicated to drums!
A Rhythm Guide with Real Drum Sounds!
Need some drums? Turn on the Rhythm Guide and select from a variety of Preset patterns in several musical styles. Then just arrange them in the order desired, and you've got a realistic-sounding drum track - no hassles, and no drum machine needed.
Built-in Microphone
The BR-532 makes it possible to capture ideas anytime, anyplace - even when you don't have a microphone with you.
Convenient SmartMedia Storage
Unlike other digital recorders, the BR-532 records audio to ultra-thin SmartMedia* cards - no hard drives or bulky disks to mess with. And while the included 32MB card gives you plenty of room to record a song, optional cards up to 128MB may be purchased for even greater capacity. *3.3V only.
Battery or AC Power
The compact BR-532 can be powered by batteries for true "on-the-go" recording, so when inspiration strikes, you'll be ready.
Optical Digital Output
Getting your music on CD is easy! Use the Optical Digital output to digitally transfer songs to a computer or stand-alone CD/MD recorder.
XLR Microphone Input
Here's something you don't usually see on budget-priced recorders - a balanced XLR input for connecting your microphone!
