You also get a pretty good sounding drum machine, a playalong capability, and it acts as a great stage amp direct to a PA!įor this money, there is absolutely nothing that compares.

You also get XEdit librarian so you can catalog and tweak your personal programmed amp/effects setups on your computer (athough the basic editing on the unit with 40 factory presets, 40 artist presets and 40 user presets) is pretty good.

This box is the equivalent of buying an M-Box (or othe high quality outboard sound and preamp card) AND a PODXT (or other modeling unit). Once you have learned a little more about mixing, of course, Cakewalk/ProTracks allows you to do pretty much anything you like such as compression, reverb post effects, slicing and dicing, etc. The sound quality is amazing! I took a 'two hour special' to an engineer friend of mine, and while he would have done more sound processing prior to a mixdown, his first comment was that he was amazed at the signal clarity. That is fast for a four to eight track recording for taking demos to my band. You really can throw down a rhythm track, bass track, vocals, and drums in about an hour, mix it and burn it in about another hour. It comes with ProTracks - a variant of Cakewalk - which works superbly. If you have a computer, even a small laptop, it provides all of the amp modeling, effects processing, and preamps you need to really drive your recording to the next level. This is such a great recording unit for musicians who are not recording experts. $299 from GuitarCenter, Beaverton Oregon, USA
