Speaking of Tascam, does anyone have hands-on experience with their other lines of guitar trainers? I think like this one best (see link) because it offers bass-boost capability. There are four models in all but the features seem to be quite close. The one that removes vocals is priced at $99, and the other three are all listed at $149 USD. Can someone tell me if their statement about "seamless looping" really means just that because the effect I want is as if I am looping them with my PC software Sound Forge. I have recorded a few loops and saved them as .WAV files and carefully edited them so there are perfect zero-crossings, and then converted them to a .CDA file extension with Windows Media Player so I could use them with my CD player (or the Tascam) if it will actually loop like my software does? Does it do this through memory buffering or how? http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/prodoptions.php?id=10587 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Nelson" <psychle62@yahoo.com> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2005 9:47 PM Subject: Re: basic loop equipment > Well, we're sort of comparing apples and oranges here. > ANY of them could be used as a practice tool.
