No need to dwell on the technical details.
Only 11 sentences memorized, quickly filled, each with an infinite number of layers overdub, but best avoided :)

16 minutes of recording time which I've never been to the end.

Micro drum machine / metronome sounds with some history to set the pace to be in tempo with tap tempo and volume.

No possibility of plugging in headphones.

Good finish and solid.

UTILIZATION

Extremely intuitive and convenient for those who, like me, prefer to have both hands free to play and not permanently buttons or mouse settings on a PC.

I use it with guitars / bass and microphone on a laney LA30C without effects loops and already so many possibilities that leaves the imagination.

at this level is just the perfect exercise tool or composition of the home studio musician or even stage even if this use is limited.

Small flat, only the first sentence can overdub can be deleted, and even if it has not yet been registered.
No opportunity to touch her curls later some manner whatsoever except by adding new layers.

11 tracks is not much ...

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is more than adequate.
it records what you hear and what you hear on record.

on the other hand beyond 3 or 4 sentences recorded simultaneously lose its definition as, normal mono sound is stacked without treatment.

This is not a recording studio is just the equivalent of the sketchbook cartoonist.

I'm still making good music delusions organizing my tracks and reproducing the content of Ableton.
Y largely by laying a few demo tasty.

OVERALL OPINION

Since 2008, he has become unavoidable even if I start to squint on the RC-300 allows greater opportunities.

He never fails, always solid and impeccable after 4 years of fairly intensive use.

If you are curious go listen to some loops made entirely or partly with the beast http://fr.myspace.com/onzemix (sorry purists)

May seem expensive, 289 euros for me at the time but it is no longer manufactured suddenly looking around 150 euros secondhand.

do not hesitate if you know you're not meant for complicated interfaces and settings that you want first and foremost a tool that allows you to "ask a sound" just.

I would do the same choice without hesitation, though ... now that the RC-300 is my eye :) :)
