zZounds Gear Experts Say...
2 tracks simultaneous recording. 4 tracks simultaneous playback.
Overview
With its simple 4-track cassette-like interface, the new MRS-4 is truly digital recording made easy. Just turn the power on and start recording. Saving recorded audio to smart media cards, the MRS-4 can bounce tracks without degradation, giving you a virtually unlimited number of tracks.
Up to 2 tracks can be recorded simultaneously and with 8 virtual takes per track, a total of 32 tracks can be recorded. The long 45mm faders are perfect for critical mixing and the 2-band parametric EQ and pan controls give each channel a wide range sound shaping.
The large back-lit LCD displays 2 input levels, tracks 1-4, and Master L/R output levels. Location can be displayed either as Measure/Beat or Min/Sec/mSec. Full digital editing tools such as Copy and Paste, Erase, Exchange, and Bounce are all at your fingertips.
Dynamic effects such as compression or Limiting, Cabinet Simulation for guitar, as well as mic preamp can be easily added to the tracks.
Send effects such as Hall, Room, Doubling, Delay (Short and Long), Chorus (Mono and Stereo) are adjustable using the Track Parameter function. The Power, Boost, and Vocal Mix Down effects can be used simultaneously with the send effects for a perfectly finished mix.
The MRS-4 also features Manual and Auto Punch In/Out, 50 marker points for transport position and A-B Repeat, from any point or any block.
For managing your Smart Media, the free "MRS-4 Card Manager" downloadable software can convert audio files for each track to/from WAV… read more files and can be used with your desktop DAW software.
The MRS-4 links with the new Zoom MRT-3 RhythmTrak. The MRS-4 receives signal directly from the outputs of the MRT-3 and is synchronizes via MIDI clock.
The MRS-4's built-in metronome and chromatic tuner aid in making accurate recordings. The unit runs on 4 "AA" batteries or an optional AC Power Supply. read less

"simple and great"
In the segment I would probably buy a MRS4 again. The great thing about it is that it offers basic functionality without annoying and unnecessary features.
Sound
I use it to record classical guitar pieces and in combination with a Shure condensor microphone the quality is very good.
Features
It would be nice to have a direct USB out port but with the current smart card reader in my PC it isn't such a big deal to upload songs.
Quality
The great thing about the Zoom is that it is small and does not have that many things that can break.
Value
It is cheap in comparison with other items and it's worth every penny.

The Wow Factor
The zoom mrs4 isn't what you call a 'sexy' thing but you are better off with quality than 'sexiness'. It looks and does what it is made for. That's the main thing.
Musical Style:
Classic guitar
