HI Krudler -
Thanks for your post!
I have been getting that impression too, that cycle recording for “takes” functionality isn’t common in hard recorders (if present at all).
I am so used to just staying at the mic and doing that though … I don’t think I would do well leaving the right-brain emotion of singing, going all left-brain to arm another track on the recorder, and then back to the emotion of singing again. What I do now is I sing about eight takes of a verse at a time. I know it’s pretty pitiful sounding, but I’m just an amateur who’s very limited, but wants to get it done …
So cycle recording for takes is out with these things, eh?
Bummer, big time. I guess really if it’s that important to me I will need to go the iPad/Cubasis/interface route … right?
Thanks very much again for your answer!
