The only other difference between them is that the mic-equipped version has a larger memory capacity of being able to record twice as much (up to 24 hours) of non-stop audio.

BackTrack + Mic, as reviewed here, comes with a built-in microphone plus a headphone output while the other version, simply known as BackTrack, has neither. wav files and puts them into either a 'marked' or 'unmarked' folder for easy transfer to and from a computer via USB.īackTrack comes in two versions. "Once you have set BackTrack up you can just turn it on and forget about it, secure in the knowledge that you will be recording everything you play."īackTrack saves all the audio events as individual. Then at a later moment I can have some fun with VST's and/or mic'ing the playback through an amp without ending up frustrated with the cables, headphone, playing the same thing over and over again. And when it seems ok to me and am done playing guitar, I could clean up and transfer files to my computer.
I imagined myself using it just anytime and to play along drum tracks that are playing on my computer. This made me think that Backtrack could be the tool I need, maybe I oversee another obvious and economically viable solution? ) without needing a headphone and without being captured by the mic and without needing an extra piece of equipment to get out of the closet and setup every time I want to TRY recording but in the end finish nowhere.Īlso, having everything setup on such a small "corner" really annoys me as I end up tripping over cables, cables getting stuck, try not bumping against anything. that are able to ruin any mic'ed recording, and the fact I need something to play along with (metronome, drums. Since I hate playing guitar with a headphone, and get cars/cats/girlfriend/. In the Past I had the Line 6 JM4, but it was FAR from ideal using it between the guitar and amp, and even worse when in the FX loop. That said, basically I only have a decent headphone, decent mic and the POD Studio UX1 as far as recording material goes. This because I currently don't have any heating or decent isolation upstairs (very slowly working on that), so I am somewhat forced to play and keep sensitive equipment in the living room. I only have limited recording equipment, and each time I want to record, I have to get all these things out of the closet. H-2 looks like a very nice recorder indeed, especially having an SD slot! But too bad it cannot simply be (transparently) connected between guitar and amp, as this is the only functionality I am currently interested in :sĪt least I THINK such feature will enable me to enjoy recording the way I like to. PS: I never digged Line 6 products, but I must admit that both the M13 and this simple but little magic gizmo are really amazing. IMO it's a super useful gadget and it's very small indeed! I love its "set it and forget it" concept: you just have to turn it on and then you can forget about it during the whole session as it detects whether you're playing or not and records everything automatically (a little tweaking on the recording sensitivity is needed to make sure that it will record properly). I can also instantly loop the tune/riff I've just recorded to create new ideas for a song or just jam along with it.
In both scenarios, the mark function comes in really handy to make a first selection of the improvisations/riffs you think that can be further usable and/or that are just worth keeping.
#Line 6 backtrack Pc#
I'm using it all the time 1) to record my band's rehearsals and jams through the built-in mic as well as 2) to record my guitar sessions at home by placing it either before (for subsequent PC processing) or after my preamp and effects.
