Connectivity is standard for this type of tool (input and output) in this price range.
Storage is on memory card (comes with a 128MB card). Possibility to tranfer tracks, but also the setup, patterns, kits, ... to a PC (or Mac) via USB port.
It is possible to record two tracks simultaneously (two microphones, a microphone or a guitar + or + microphone or guitar input LINE)
The bad thing is the AC adapter is not included.
Neither the footswitch (very useful to start the recorder hands free)
UTILIZATION
Handling general least 1 hour (the first 20 pages of doc for understanding the operating principle).
The advanced features will need to read the doc until the end. Overall the documentation is very good.
Due to the small size, we must understand the operating principles qqs. Nothing shocking. It's going very fast.
The use of the recorder, effects guitar / bass / vocals are easy to access.
The BAR (drum machine) is of excellent quality (BAR kits of Boss / Roland). Patterns and arrangements are planned well made, with a comprehensive upgrade path:
- Loading from a PC (kit, pattern and MIDI)
- Creation in real time from the sensory pad (5 levels)
- Creation programmed pattern
Everything is possible, now it is long
SOUNDS
No complaints about sound quality! for both the recorder for the effects or kits. The unit is very accurate. I find the sound of my guitars.
Not being a singer, I can not comment on the microphone.
The effects are good qualities (Boss. ..) and in sufficient numbers. Nothing to criticize on this point.
Effect chains are adjustable (in the level, composition, ...).
There are effects for guitars (acoustic and bass with emulations), bass, acoustic, singing, and the input line (eg with a Low Fi) ...
Note, it is possible to record your tracks "dry": no effect, and apply your effects post recording
OVERALL OPINION
Buy fewer than 1 week is my first multitrack. I had a small recording experience for PC, and I'm pretty well documented.
Most:
- The BAR, because of its quality and scalability
- Size notebook
- The possibility of working on battery (unlike its direct competitor)
- Quality of the effects (as boss)
The -:
- AC adapter not included
- Optional footswitch
- No start the recorder after a programmable interval (type 4 measures metronome and it starts hop)
Quality / price ratio: ok.
Not long back, in relation to this equipment, at least not regret.
