Time to upgrade the Studio. As some of you know, I've been a Zoom MRS fanatic for 2 years now... to the point that I forced artist08 to go buy one.
Well, it's time to move on up. I've been looking at all sorts of recorders - 16-24 tracks, checking out the Tascams and Rolands and Yamahas, and THEN, this morning, I bothered to check and see what Zoom had to offer (don't know why i didn't go there first). LOOKS LIKE DADDY'S GONNA HAVE A GOOD CHRISTMAS http://emusician.com/news...unces_mrs/ This $800 motherlode has coolio things like: - 8-track simultaneous record - reverse a track - time-stretch without changing the pitch - Pitch Fix, so I can sound like Cher and Kid Rock - creates a 3-part harmony to match the programmed chord and, supposedly, a MUCH better drum machine than the previous one, (the main thing I hated about the box I have now). - - - So, I'll be unloading my current Zoom MRS1044 for $300 in the next couple of weeks. I figured I'd mention it here since some of you might be interested. You pay shipping. Oh - as long as I'm pimping - I ALSO have a Tascam 8-track cassette recorder that I'll unload for $150. That's right. $150. It's nothing but a big huge door-stop in my basement right now. BUT, it weighs a ton, so, shipping might hurt you. If you live in the ATL, this might be a sweet deal for you. (p.s. - prices are "or best offer", so, you know, it don't hurt to orgnote me a price if you wanna work with me.) [Edited 11/24/04 6:50am] The Last Otan Track: www.funkmusician.com/what.mp3 | |

Nice new toy, if not just for the 8 inputs but "Each of the inputs can have individual compression and EQ effects applied." Sweet.

Last time you said the Tascam 2488 was the bomb. What happened to that opinion? | |

Two words: Learning Curve. I'm under a schedule to wrap up these recordings. If I got the Tascam, I'd have 24 tracks and three months to have to learn how to use them. With the Zoom, I'm counting on the interface being similar, so I can get down to making the music instead of learning how to use the tools. Besides, I can't imagine needing 24 tracks for funk. Symphony, yeah, funk? No. Keepin it simple. The Last Otan Track: www.funkmusician.com/what.mp3 | |
