« Zoom PS-02 Palmtop Studio »

Published on 12/25/03 at 15:00
Well, I´m a guitarist and I needed something to record my ideas and songs. I did not have much money, and my old Tascam portastudio tape recorder was full of problems.So, I read somewhere that Zoom had this digital recorder; it cost me around US$ 450 at the time.

Well, it works fine as an effect unit, much like the Zoom pedals. It has some nice effects for voice also, and some upgrades that could be downloaded through the web.

The problem is that it´s very hard to record with this little thing. If you want to do a layered song, it´s very, very hard. That´s why I want a Boss recorder. A friend of mine has the BR-532, and it works like those old multi-track tape recorders.Very easy to use, and with the bounce feature, it gets even easier.

The overall quality of the PS-02 is very good, that´s why I still keep it as an effect unit. But if you want something to record seriously...

Maybe I´m being too hard with Zoom; they have many good products. But my sincere opinion is that BOSS is making the best digital recorders with affordable prices.
