This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Good product, a few little limits."

Sound: I thought the sound is pretty good on this product. Feature: I like that I can organize verses, choruses and so on.And plus you can tell the backround istruments what notes to play. The only thing is that it only has limited backround rhythms to each genre of music. Quality: All parts still working fine, had for 2 years. I have never dropped it though. One problem I had was a pattern loading error which apparently ment I lost the pattern and beats from the card. The manual didn't say much about the error. But All I had to do was connect to the pc and copy and paste the missing pattern from the tascam software onto the card. Value: I really don't know what other recording products have. So I don't know if others have more or less features. The Wow Factor: I can't wait to put my music on the computer. Overall: I have to say I enjoy using this product. There are some limits to it but there is still lots of room to be creative on it.

"Fine little product, horrible manuals!"

Sound: Well I'm not a recording engineer. I've made about 4 or 5 mp3s with it so far and they sound pretty darned good to me. Feature: One of the reasons I came here to write a review is that the presentation of this product is a tragedy. The basic features, being able to record a song very simply and convert to mp3 is fantastic; as a songwriter that's what I'm looking for. It's a lovely little thing for the price. The main wrongheaded feature is the Tone Generator -- seven million backup band songs that are just absurd. All I want is a backup drum track, and I'm still trying to figure that out -- you have to delete all the other instruments and then do copy/pastes, is my suspicion. So that's today's project, God help me. Quality: It's not top quality, but you get what you pay for. I wish they had charged me a bit more and included a more powerful flash card. Overall: I'll probably graduate to something more sophisticated and hopefully better supported.
