Ok guys need opinions, I wanna buy a recording compact unit, I'm between the Zoom Ps-04 or the Korg Pxr4...



any opinions about those recorders? or any other sugestion on the same price range?

I haven't tried the Zoom but I have a PXR4. I bought it when I sold all my big studio gear. The sounds are excellent, the recording is really easy, the built in drum machine is basic but very good. It's tiny, light, you can get cheap cards to expand the recording time and you can also download your tracks to your computer for further editing. I highly recommend it! :)

thanks PhryDom, any of the songs in your site is recorded with it??

yeah there are a couple of partially completed things near the bottom of the news page... here are direct links to the mp3s:

Good Kind Of Pain - around 900kb

Wispy Clouds - around 300kb

:)

hey sounds great, did you used the fx of the recorder or you used others??

glad you like it! :)

those were recorded with one guitar one cable and the pxr4, nothing else ;)

someone can tell us about the zoom recorder??

I have the PX4 it's basically the PXR4 without most on the recording stuff and I love it. It does have a feature where you can record a short loop of rhythm guitar to play lead over. Its pretty limited but still functional enough to work out song ideas. I like it quite a bit, some of the preset guitar sounds are surprisingly good.

Now we just need some words of the zoom to compare

For what they're worth here is a link to the reviews at thr the ZOOM at Harmony Central

Another tip... The Korg PXR4 came out in 2001 so it' kind of old, If you can wait until after the January NAMM show I would. I have been thinking about upgrading to the PXR4 but I'm going to see if anything new comes out from them. I also noticed that Musicians Friend is offering a PXR4 recording package that includes cabels, mic, headphones, and a book for $50 more than the regular PXR4.

You are right I'm gonna wait to see what comes on 2006

Ok I will get my ps-04 this saturday also a Boss DD3; can wait to start recording :clap2:

Finally I made my mind, and i got the Ps-04 here is a little test of the FXs and Recording with it

TEST PS-04

Thanks PHRYDOM Let me get it right how does ti works and I will post a new song on the show off forum
