Product Description

This is a portable, easy-to-use tool for music practice and live recording. Use it to create custom-tailored, high-impact accompaniment CDs. Transcribe songs. Record rehearsals, auditions, and performances directly to CD.

Musicians can play along with any music CD and change the music's tempo -33% to +50% without changing key. Change key without affecting tempo as much as an octave in half steps. Fine tune any song. Select A-B practice loops. Even reduce lead vocals all in real time. Create a stereo mix of live accompaniment with music on CD and record the mix directly to CD-R and CD-RW discs that will play back in most any CD player. An internal microphone, XLR and 1/4 in. mic/line inputs and digital input/outputs provide maximum versatility for making great CD-quality digital recordings. Monitor recordings using headphone out, the built-in speaker, or external speakers. Duplicate CDs at 2X speed (half normal time) or use half-speed duplication to copy music for transcription. IR remote is included.
