For specific characteristics, see a different view ...
This is the studio handheld that does everything! It's simple, since I separated I do more!
Okay we can only record two tracks simultaneously, but it allows a smaller footprint! And what a joy the USB ...
The recording is in mp3, you can read mp3, midi files, patterns can be programmed easily and are very useful when you want to register a component quickly, but not "alone"
Comes with a combined headset is very light, it can help, like the microphone ...
The editing functions are also very well designed, with the auto-show punch
What did I forget ... ? Oh yeah There's a possibility to add effect to the recording, the effects being arranged by category (guitar, bass, vocals, percussion) with a parameter modified by effect (sic) which unfortunately does not know the name. .. Otherwise you can equalize each track, do your pan and use a reverb module (configurable, he, and not too bad bill).
Ah yes, a word about the media: CompactFlash cards are, I advise you to buy directly from 128MB, just to be quiet (40 € at the moment), even if we can save card 32MB provided. You can record two tracks on 1:15 smoothly on a 128 MB, for cons after there is only twenty MB to the mix (so about 20 minutes).
While there, super simple ... There's just plug
No, no joke, assignment of tracks, recording, auto-punch, mix, effects, programming patterns and more ... the user manual is very well done ... no problem!
I love his side mat, I use it to record rehearsals, to the compound (model), to interview people on the street ... I even recorded a concert on the radio by connecting to the headphone output of my chain (well no, I have no output to ...) ... and then this summer we will keep memories of the tour, I guarantee it! I also registered on the wire the intervention of an author in a library with built-in microphone, well it was not bad at all!
Oh, one annoying thing, however: in the manual they say that the recording is in mp3 format, but in fact when you look in the folder of your song on your PC, well There's a huge file, but c is not the mp3 ... and there's no way to read, so the only way is to first perform a mix of the pocket before transferring.
And then on the USB, I had a scare when I connected the first time because it did not work! Then I tried on other machines and there ... phew! So I added the USB ports on my bike and since it rolled nickel!
However, deleting files from the PC is not recommended, it happened to me several times to see that the change had not really been effective in the pocket and suddenly I had to reformat the card with the pocket ... after data transfer history to lose nothing
Otherwise the site is super Tascam succinct but there are all, we are already at version 2.04 of system functions including copy and paste and a more advanced list management mp3. And if you ever format your card, you lost the CD and you have no way of finding patterns (to be done, anyway!) ... Well they are on the site!
A little something I like when I perform comprises: the display in action rather than time ... but to each his own
Ah, a little regret (and which prevents it from being perfect!), Not the circuit! So, have to save the effect (MPX1) on another track and then mix it all ... Finally, it is to the layout, so ...
If you do a lot of operations, be sure to go to the menu card -> Optimize, you will regain the MB in no time!
And then I look forward to a new version of the system (who knows, maybe we can create more than 9 songs on the same card, and play cards> 128MB, other effects ... I see it as improvements ...)
Ah, this is a case that it is not easy to fill when you have no experience ....
All I can say is that I like! It does not feel too much compression, the effects are not top but can help, even if in principle I do not like too record with an effect (well above the voice), the parametric EQ is limited but you can still catch some things ... about the reverb ... Well is not that bad! A good set, it goes not too bad, it's worth the MPX1, but frankly, surprise!
No breath (ah ... digital) but cracking if we do not abuse or compressor input (digital ah!)
I put a score of 7 because I am not an expert, so it's not because I like that I'll put 10 ...
Well here it will be almost two months I have (after many months of waiting, but that's another story ...) and it follows me everywhere!
I will redeem it because I already have one but there's a buddy what cracking up, for all: the next portable, quality, flexibility ... makes it ideal for work at home and transfer of ideas by mail (even by reducing the quality of the mp3), to save a bit of everything (rehearsals, concerts, interviews) proper course of two tracks simultaneously maxi ...
I admit, I have not tried to compare, I relied on the features. We just € 500 new, it's a good price.
If you want smaller, cheaper and Zoom There's company, but one advice: think about the USB, because it fills up fast card!
For me it is a good compromise between the handheld side and the possibility of still making models.
It does not have virtual tracks, but I do not know if I would have been useful (for me it's good or not, or punch, so ...) and worse is something to eat you the map in no time at that!
Otherwise, agree with the previous opinion autonomy issue is a bit light, but I use it almost always AC ... Finally, it would not hurt that the food 6 batteries (all the same!) a little more slowly ...
Promised, if I have a problem, I go back a little critical of my "toy" ...
