Yep, sure is Matt, it's my dream come true. I was stuck with a crappy four track tape recorder and had to bounce my tracks down to make room for each instrument which ment that I could'nt add individual
effects after or do a proper remix. Well I'm very happy now.

Hey thanks DJBIZZERK. It's made a lot of difference to the way I create and produce my tunes.

That is a Hot Machine...I use a Boss Br-1180, but
it's got nothing on that. Is that Twelve Trax I
Count with a Master Track? Are there Virtual Trax
too? Bet that cost a pretty Penny. Is it easy to
use? I'm thinking of an upgrade myself, but had a
bad experience with the Zoom Acoustic Pedal. What do
you think about the Quality of the Zoom Creators?

Hi KB, Yes I'm very please with it, but I can only compare it to my old Tascam Porta-one 4 track tape recorder, so make sure you read loads of reviews before deciding what to go for, The Boss BR range are very good from what I've read, but Money was an issue, so after checking out a lot of reviews I opted for the Zoom, It cost me about £500.

Here's a link to Zoom's website and the ZOOM MRS-1608CD It should answer Most of your questions.

Since Getting REASON the music creation software, I haven't needed to use it for a few weeks until I made ' I'm Missing You' where I used it to play in the guitars. It's fairly easy to use, like most things the more you use it the easier it gets, I couldn't be bothered to programme the bass generator but maybe others will find it a breeze, there's a lot to take in, I've only used about half of the functions so far! The quality is good.

There is one very important thing that I will point out to you, there's no Undo or Redo function, so if you accidentally delete a track or part of a track, and you didn't make a copy of it, then you're fucked! I did take that into consideration while deciding, but I still went for the Zoom. The Quality of the build is very nice, it's a solid design and feels great to use.

OK mate? Hope this helps a little. Take it easy buddy.
