I am looking for a stand alone digital multitrack recorder/mixer. I own an acoustic and electric guitar. Could I do all of my recording and mixing on the BR80? How tedious is it to mix? I only have Garageband for DAW and don't really like to use it.  I would like to record songs in the following manner.

1. Come up with a riff.
2. Match a drum loop to this riff.
3. Record riff.
4. Lay down a bass line to the recorded drums & guitar riff using bass modeling in BR80.
5. Lay down chorus/bridge in same manner.
6. Add vocals with external mic or internal mics if quality is good.
7. Put the song together in BR80.
8. Export to computer to convert to MP3 or upload to iTunes.

2 questions: 1. Could I do all of this on BR80?  2. Can I bypass COSM effects when recording and use my current preamp which I already have dialed in to fit my tones?

Anything you can help with will be appreciated.

Yes you can do all of that on the br80 ...u can also bypass all cosm effects..
What I have done is I have created some handy patches as user patches and also one
initialized patch which is dry n completely free from cosm
Its a fantastic little monster. .another good thing is if u have a gr55 and u want to create
patches that u like on d br80, it is pretty easy since there r similar cosm settings and effects.
..the vocal processor on d br80 is also decent
