Can you multi-track or is it just a basic 4 track? can you put a guitar track down then lay down 6 tracks ontop for instance?

Please help!!!

What I am curious to know is whether you can karoke with the thing… prerecorded partial or full accompanyment. Play tracks *from* the ipod with the other inputs.

Recording with it is one thing (and a great thing), but I could use it for live performance.

[...] Unacceptable (*in the voice of the coneheads). I ended up having to add “2007″ (among other confounded kw and operator combinations) to my query to get an decent results. After a bit of a struggle, I found several good reviews and articles that were actually current. [...]

16-bit, 44.1kHz stereo WAV or 320kbs MP3 I think are your options. I don’t think it does 24/96 but … most of us don’t use that that often, let alone would we want to do it with an iPod.

Any idea what the formatting will be? Recording fliesize? Awesome possibilities, if the sound quality is decent… the stereo channel should make the addition of a sub-mixer simple.

Specs actually indicate a stereo compressor, not a brick wall limiter — good idea. :)

I think they had it plugged in when they were demoing it; no specs yet on power source, though. I didn’t notice any big wall wart.

Any idea if this thing runs on batteries, wall wart or what?

I’ve played so many great gigs which weren’t recorded for posterity because everyone had too much on their plate to setup an MD and hit record at the right time.

More artists are recording their shows to be made available on CDR after the show or on their websites, so something like this is a no-brainer, as long as the quality is reasonable.

this does seem to be a fairly interesting piece of equipment. While it probably won’t have any snuff for studio recodings, if implemented effectively this little device could be great for live recording or perhaps rehearsals.

Anyone even considering this has already invested the money in an iPod, so throwing this in the mix at the right price offers a lot of recording space. Up to 80GB?? You don’t see many other recording packages that can offer 80Gb (perhaps more with a new iPod) for space. You could litterally probably hit record and leave this thing running while recording an entire concert or music festival.

Very interesting for the indie promoter or musician.
