    So for the beginner who wants to record music to judge its progress, to try the composition, I think it's perfect.
    I would need to ensure to find a device provided with one or more cards and preferably 128MB (allows 2 hours of maximum records in degraded mode, which I think is not that bad), because the problem is that the card format used is no longer used and are rather expensive occasion.

    Zoom MRS-4 DIGITAL MULTITRACK RECORDER

    Zoom MRS-4Published on 08/10/04 at 15:00
    I acquired this unit one year and a half ago in a music store in Mexico city, where I live. It was new, and as I can remember, I paid around $290 dolars for it. The reason to buy the MRS-4 was that by that time I was recording my music in an Onkyo mini disc recorder, but this has only a stereo inputs, and I want to record my music with the posibilities to use multitracking.

    The MRS-4 is a very versatile multitrack recorder, I use it in my home studio. I'm an instrumental music composer (I play keyboards, electric guitar and drum machine) and the MRS-4 is and small but powerful tool to develop my ideas, It let me do a basic track and use more tracks or V takes to complement the main idea.…

    The MRS-4 is a very versatile multitrack recorder, I use it in my home studio. I'm an instrumental music composer (I play keyboards, electric guitar and drum machine) and the MRS-4 is and small but powerful tool to develop my ideas, It let me do a basic track and use more tracks or V takes to complement the main idea. The MRS-4 is very well constructed, very friendly with the user (I spent one hour reading the manual, and after I start experimenting with the recording and editing functions) and since I had this recording machine, my demos and pieces are much better done. Also I must say that the sound quality is great.

    Well, maybe there is nothing that I don't like about this unit. Probably the only limitation that I find is the smart media card capacity, but I generally buy the 64 or 128, so I have enough time to put 3 or 4 songs in each card. Also, I got a free-software in the ZOOM official page, I install it in my computer and this software let me save my compositions in my PC, so I can clean the card after storing it, and use it again and again.

    Zoom always has very high quality products at affordable prices in the market. That's the reason by wich the amateurs, half-time professionals and full-time professionals musicians use these products, I hope.
    The construction, performance and materials-resistance of the MRS-4 is ok, you can use it in practically every enviroment (home studio, bed room, traveling and even in a live performance, as a direct take from the sound desk.

    In my opinion the MRS-4 is a very nice unit, that has a great cost-value relationship, you get a very useful recorder with high resources and without expend a lot of money. In my case, the MRS-4 let me improve my recording process, transforming my musical ideas in a more professional and high quality demos and pieces. I'm glad that I've had acquired this multitrack recorder. I highly recommended it to the musicians.

    Zoom MRS-4 Digital Recorder

    Zoom MRS-4Published on 12/09/03 at 15:00
    I bought my Zoom MRS-4, Digital Recorder at Mars Music(bankrupt now) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

    I can make 4 track recordings all in digital and then burn them to CD, without changing the format. I never have to go back to analog again! I can make professional, studio quality demos right at home, and it only cost $200.00

    There is nothing that I don't like about my Zoom MRS-4, Digital Recorder.

    The unit is made out of a high grade unbreakable casting (not plastic). It can really take a beating and its performance is not affected by the wheather, the cold of winter, nor the heat of summer, especially here in Las Vegas, Nevada. It's fantastic!

    I reccomend this product to anyone who is in the ma…

    I reccomend this product to anyone who is in the market for a home based recording studio, it even has added sound effects that can be applied during mix down. It comes complete with a range of effects for vocals as well as instruments. There are four channels for instrument input, two RCA. jackets for output and a headphone jack. This unit is great, it even lets you make "V takes" (sample tracks) that can be mastered into the finished product, or they can be phased out altogther, if a retake is necessary.

    I got for a X-mas present from my parents. They bought it from Fox Music around 400-600 dollars.

    It has a clean sound when recording. You can dubb solos and stuff over a track you have already recorded. It has two inputs. A good amout of effects on it. Comes with a 15 song holder memory called. Can hook it up to basically anything: stereo, cd burner, midi, headphones. It can run off of 4 batteries.

    Hard to use and understand at first. Only has four tracks(of course you could pay more for a 12 track one).

    Has very good quality. Constructed out of strong plastic, which acts like metal. Doesn't have a cd burner built in it.

    A 4-track budget but quality appointment to easily manage storage media smart with free software

    UTILIZATION

    Simple you have to read the manual twice and includes all instructions very clear very easily

    SOUNDS

    Quality sound effects ok, the software can convert the format zoom type wave

    OVERALL OPINION

    2 weeks of use for simple recording equipment because the function is nice bounce but beware u final result
    price 100 euro secondhand
    without hesitation to purchase price if the budget over choosing a computer + free software is preferred
