All user reviews of 5/5 for the Tascam MP-GT1

I use it for 10 days. I was looking for a device that can <strong>reduce the speed of music without distorting the pitch.</strong> I had left at the start of an Alesis Playmate but this product is no longer manufactured and even though it made ​​me realize that ca n ' was not great. So I was led on this product that is relatively new. The worry is that the seller had no perspective on the capacity of this machine or even echoes of users. He could just tell me that he had ordered 10 and 9 were gone in 3 days. It's a bit in the dark I decided to spent the deed to the simple view of the specifications stated on the product box. <strong>The purchase price is 240 €</strong> and honestly, and after 5 minutes of 'ulises I think it's a very good value for money. In fact I even think that <strong>this tool is essential for all guitarists.</strong> Why? <strong>Here are the features:</strong> -> MP3 <strong>1gig</strong> of memory. Of course it is not at all an Ipod MP3 player type, ultra thin and super light. Nothing to do. It is here as part of a tool for musicians with advanced features that certainly requires a much more complex electronics and thus more than just a large MP3 player <strong>following dimensions:</strong> length: 11cm --- Width: 7.5cm- - Height: 2cm -> <strong>Change the tone of a song. two possibilities:</strong> the first is being able to raise or lower the tone by halftone. Your guitar is granted in E and you want to resume a guitar part played in C tuning? No problem. It therefore increases the tone of the piece of 2-tone and you're playing the song has been granted with your guitar always with excellent sound quality. -> <strong>Reduce the speed of a song without changing the Mp3 tonaité the original and</strong> no <strong>significant</strong> feature of even the fastest guitar that exists can be understood. "/> Frankly it is bluffing. Importantly, the sound does not suffer any damage and is of very good quality (the same as the original) <strong>For info: we are January 13, 2010 it will soon be three years since I ' I posted this opinion. I still have this tool and use it as always. Besides, I slowed down now less the speed of the pieces look like much as it develops the ear.</strong>

- How long have you use it?
I use it for a few months (I almost bought it out)

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The 'Tops':
- Use super intuitive (really no need at all to manual .. 2 or 3 trials and found how it works right away)
- Play anywhere over mobile songs or backtracks ...
- Peel any song and loop functions thanks to the speed control (maintaining the pitch of course)!
- 1 giga .. we put a lot even when it .. convenient for a holiday with lots of pieces to work.
- Recharges via USB or external power supply (not included)

The 'BOFs':
- The effect of multiple most rudimentary and does not ring top top ... But to work songs and fun, has more than enough
- The interface is easy to catch, but a little heavy after ds ... But hey, it's no big deal ...
- Do not handle well (predictably) the encoded MP3 VBR: He reads without problem, but the function 'loop' does not necessarily replay the passage that said ... It makes a little sense .. And do not gre MP3 encoded other than 44Khz (most are precisely 44Khz fortunately, so good, it's going .. )
I really do not consider it as a default in fact .. because the VBR formats are a no go for this kind of use ...
By the way, just convert all the mp3 that one puts on in CBR 128k 44Khz (not very complicated and everything falls into place
- External PSU not included :-( (But rechargeable via USB)

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

Not ... Not really equivalent from the CD MODEL much less convenient (much bigger and worse .. must carry the CDs ...)

- How do you report qualitprix?

189 euros (in toto ) ... The price is small or huge .. But hey .. ca is squarely hit

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

Without a doubt!
It performs its function perfectly, and it is a pleasure to work with a piece
Edit: After several months of use: Always the same review Top home top! In my opinion, you will find it difficult to find secondhand

I use it for a month.

Very practical because you can play anywhere in the pieces are in charge usb, and then, with a gig, there's something to do! Take a headphone (but you can also plug it into a hi-fi ...) a jack and you can work quietly o you want your songs. As stated by another user, the quality of mp3 sound is good, you can increase / decrease the tempo without changing the tonality. on the other hand, it's true that the quality of the guitar sounds (including distortions) leaves dsirer.Mais really good, hack, one may make it sound a bit. The use of the device is very simple, which is a plus. And what comfort! before buying it, I plugged my guitar on a multi-purpose, itself plugged my computer o headphones I was leaving ... and this in an apartment with a kid and f3 of an.Autre one point, there is a function that removes the central part of the audio track (for working solo) but does not terrible I think. It PForm sound and still means something ...
In conclusion, I would say it is a useful working tool and trs qqu'il not have to buy that guitar to work or s'entraner. The report price is good quality, 199 and I think I would do without this choice problem

Great material to work. It is a "work station" really great: you can change the tempo without interfering with the height and vice versa, looping for delicate passages, transfer ... All via a simple headphone (no need for external amplification, which allows you to work absolutely anywhere with a box that fits easily into a jacket pocket), all without disturbing anyone! Sounds delivered via a PC are really excellent quality (they render faithfully recorded files), which allows via CDs such as "play with ..." work in ideal conditions. If mine fell in the road tomorrow, I'll buy one soon! I use it almost every day for a year and I can not get enough. We find the same functionality with mini amp Jam Vox. But if it works as well with better sound (with respect to the amps, preamps, effects ... Jam Vox is great) you still have a PC so that it works, it therefore takes more space and we the less easily cart around! In short, in conclusion, I would say that I still use a lot more than the Tascam Jam because of its very practical side. Now if you want to work donf also on the sound, choose the one that it is a great teacher at that level
