Just in time for your shopping pleasure on Black Friday, my review of Tascam's interesting flash recorder mit music trainer is now live:

http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/digitalmedia/2008/11/26/TASCAM-GT-R1-review.html?page=1

What is it? The GT-R1 combines a full featured flash recorder with something called a music trainer-- a device that lets you loop and time stretch musical passages so you can learn tricky licks. There are other tools like part cancel and a very good tuner in there, too.

The recorder features a very cool "sound-on-sound" feature where you can over dub new parts. It is optimized for guitar and bass, with both mics and a 1/4" input plus piles of FX.

Read the review to get more-- and to hear audio examples (no bagpipes this time, just my so-called vocal).

The bottom line? A very cool tool for any musician or songwriter.

I've used an earlier version (just the cd) of the trainer with very good results. It is one of my essential tools.

Wow Mark. Thanks for that. That's a way cool little gadget!

I also have a Tascam CD trainer and it is a very useful tool. The combination of overdub recorder and MP3 trainer into one makes spending that kind of money on a pocket recorder a lot easier to justify.
