Not too clever for gigs though!

Na but does the job for rehearsals, anyway sorry for hijacking the thread

I have a Roland R05 and it works really well for rehearsals & gig recordings. The results to date have been well worth it

Combined with a band Dropbox folder we can record new songs / arrangements, dump them to the folder then everyone has a copy on the right key to play/sing along to.

So last night #2 guitarist had a gyppy stomach and couldn't make it down to rehearsal. We ran through some new covers that we had worked on with him and the vocalist said "could we change the key" to one of them. Dropped the song a tone, recorded it, dumped it in Dropbox when I got home, SORTED!

An early attempt with it [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=104645"]HERE[/url]

And another from last night's gig [url="http://www.the-alibi.org.uk/Sounds/Alibi_Live_-_Maniac.mp3"]HERE[/url]

Interested in the H1, but also wondering about the Alesis Protrack; am I correct in assuming you can plug a bass in one channel and use the integral mic in the other?

slightly OT, but for recording rehearsals (not gigs obviously) the iphone 4 voice memo app does a better job to my ears than microphone and laptop I first tried (probably got better AGC)....
