Helmut-Chacho « A great tool for solo musician and models »
Published on 08/27/14 at 14:23e'm a guitarist, I had a group in the late 70s, now I play for my own pleasure at home. But I want to record and retrieve the feeling of a whole, not just a guitar.
The R8 has fulfilled my expectations are:
1) A tool for multi-track recording
=> 2 tracks simultaneous recording, 6 in reading, ability to store / select different Takes per track => Everything I need.
2) With an interface that does not require always have the manual handy
=> Once you have understood the key points, no need to book. Korg Sound On Sound that I had bought previously was a real headache. The there is all the buttons you need to avoid the improbable and impossible to memorize combinations.
3) Easy to carry, self, standard connectors
=> Light, batteries or USB power. I can work with in the chair for seated work rhythms and sequences, and go settle down with microphones, cables and guitars etc in a wink.
4) Who communicates easily with the PC
=> It is seen as a floppy mass directory structure of files, easy! It enables / disables the connection to the computer without having to turn it off and on again
5) I am not a drummer, so beatbox
=> Great, not only is it filled with patterns, but it can create his or note by note or by registering with velocity sensitive pads)
6) Ability to complete (to jam / improvise) or sequencer (make backing tracks or entire songs)
=> He is very good at both
At the practice, we realize the great potential of the R8.
Clearly not a pro tool production, but for models it is perfect.
I hesitated, but now I really do not regret my purchase.
Investment / opportunities / quality ratio is exactly what suit me.
================================================== ================
Used for 10 months
Another model of compact multi track recorder tried before: Korg Sound on Sound (galley)
What I like most: Ergonomics, independence, portability, possibilities, sequencer
What I like least: Pre somewhat weak
