The USB port on the PXR-4 only makes exchanging songs with your computer easier, you can't use it for direct recording.

ahhh i see. apart from that then i think they're virtually identical units except i guess for the effects and drums they have on board.

why not.... i mean it looks like it does a similar thing.... you looking for something boss then? haha

Dakine · « **Reply #19 on:** March 06, 2006, 10:36:34 PM »

was'nt looking for a darn thing till you started :P

No, wanted a motronome so that was a lie lol.

Nah, if can get a zoomy thingy cheapo why not give it a go. Just NOT a fan of cards is all so usb would be good but the zoom looks better and has more reviews lol.

Not liking the tracks on that forum though. Think your track here serves better for the Hard Rock I am interested in.

yer the tracks on there are a bit mamby pamby or however that dodgy term is meant to be spelt (if it even is a term). some are cool though you jsut have to be lucky finding them. im gonna do some heavier stuff in the coming weeks, i reckon their well worth it if you can get one on the cheap like you said. so many editing possibilities you jsut have to know what you want to do- i just fiddle until i get something weird...

well, seeing as they ALL say they have metronomes then I guess just take ya pick. Korgs are going for about $100 her it seems.

damn everything is so cheap over there!!!! they're like £199 over here.

Why did you choose Zoom over Korg Sam? Just interested.

sambo · « **Reply #26 on:** March 06, 2006, 11:05:59 PM »

partly cause i already had my heart set on it lol.... (well id seen the zoom first anyway) partly because it was smaller lol (only VERY marginally i think though) partly because i had heard of zoom effects and not so much of korg effects (although they're decent ive heard) and partly because the zoom had more info avaiable and with the pattern editor and stuff available for download it seemed like it could be slightly easier to use.

in the end though i couldnt decide and it came to the point where i actually said to my dad "just get either one i cant choose" lol....

then i finally just went with the zoom because it was the one i had orginally found... theres that little to choose between them...

I know its a bit expensive but howabout a Tascan Portastudio? They look pretty good, although I'm just saying that coz I've heard Tascam are a good brand :lol: The Zoom or Korg probably have a better value for money though.. Just wondering Sam, if your Zoom doesnt have a USB, then how do you get your recordings across to the PC?

Dakine · « **Reply #28 on:** March 07, 2006, 01:17:25 AM »

Not sure but probably uses a card reader for the smart media card via usb port.
Thats only way to do it I can see.

sambo · « **Reply #29 on:** March 07, 2006, 08:05:21 AM »

yup thats what i do- i have a little usb card reader which transfers all my files across.
