RE: Advice on digital VCR for loop purposes

["Javier Miranda V." <gnominus@earthling.net>]

Well, I don't mean to use it as a looping device, but as a place to record
"live" looping, from which to take parts for further work, etc., remix,
sampling, Acidising, etc., which requires a lot more quality than a common
cassette recorder.

I wanted to know if that digital VCR would be of better quality than the
trusty old Hi-Fi VCRs.

  | two-track recorders, utilizing just the audio tracks.
  |
  | I imagine the specs are even better today. But since I can't
  | even program the damn clock, fat chance I'd use mine as a looper. :)
