This review is from: Tascam PS5 Pocketstudio5 4-Track Recorder

This little gadget really suprises you. Its packed with features you can actually use. Just bring in a midi file as a backing track and you can easily add two guitars and two vocals in no time. You can bounce tracks if you need more, with no loss of quality whatsoever. The sound effects alone make this recorder worth the price. The "90's Rock" effect sounds like a little Marshall Stack in there. I was also amazed at the MP3 Mixdown quality. With no tweaking at all, the result sounds professional. Transferring to a computer was also a breeze. I will admit there was a little bit of a learning curve to get use to its setup but once you get past that, recording on it becomes second nature.
