Re: New Boomerang and Blooperang Update...
Stereo recording....will that include stereo input/output too? That would
be
cool. That will make only two that can do this, right? I thought the RC50
was stereo i/o as well.
It's just amazing how much momentum the looping technology is building
now...both software and hardware. It's sort of exciting.
