Coupled to a DR-670, no sync problem noon ...
Exit Sub handy ...
I did not used once the USB functions of the machine. 24 minutes of stereo recording is sufficient.

UTILIZATION

It's not very very complicated to use them. It's very intuitive.

Comprehensive manual.

A small external type footswitch or Behringer AB200 Boss FS is very convenient to delete tracks directly without having to wait for 2 seconds.

Editing patches is very simple but like all pedals should be addressed. It can also be placed on a table and start recording at the front.



SOUND QUALITY

Personally, I used the "stereo" to plug a guitar and a bass at the same time above. The outputs are connected to a guitar amp and a bass amp, obviously. The pan setting of each track can refine the return of other instruments (mic and taken) in the two amplifiers. I am not top top of the requirement so we'll say okay.

To avoid blanks in the door, I try to start and stop my recordings as close to the beginning of a measure and it works. And so the white of the first recorded track is disagreement too, still replaying the first note of the first measure at the same time you press Rec / play / overdub.

And you do not enjoy too much to change the tempo of your songs already recorded, the resampling is not top-top. In any case, it is frowned upon to turn up on stage with the machine full of loops already recorded.

How to choose the way to the ignition with the updated BIOS.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using for a little over a year.
Before, I had a RC20XL and we can say that the RC50 is alone in its price range in view of its performance. So I have not tried the electro-harmonix or other models. I was tempted for a moment by SuperLooper Linux but a bracket is still more compact than a PC.

What I like least, that's me farting to set back the names of the patches and the panoramic tracks. The side a bit random white trails in early use (default tends to disappear gradually as I'm using is what we should call progress)

What I like most is finally turning bass lines and scrape it, or otherwise. No longer be limited to a structure (RC20XL) but can bind verse, chorus, bridge. Superimposing the three tracks at the same time and add each time is also pretty trippy, it dribbles too much and the results are, if successful, at least interesting.

Report qualité.prix unbeatable but remember to add a few euros for a footswitch.

I drooled over long enough to make the election again without any hesitation. At the same time, I'm just a scratch (scratch or a little way) and I did not fully exploit the afternoon. For an engine-or a keyboard, I do not know if this is the point of hell.
