HARDWARE to die 4....the micro br!

The Boss Micro BR 4 track studio is my fave piece of hardware by a mile at the moment, built in mic (which is bloody good), built in effex, drum machine with 300 samples, 32 virtual tracks, master your trax with the built in mastering software, export your finished songs to wav or mp3 record onto 1gb memory cards....the whole thing just slightly larger than an ipod...could it do any more!?........well I suppose they could have included a tea maker with it....but until then you'll have to get yer mum to do that!....if you buy one piece of hardware this year, let it be this....wow! and I don't even work for Boss....!!! ;-) check it out HERE!

MAKE a drum machine out of a tape recorder!?

stoopid......o god yes! here's more gumph about this thing!....How to make a drum machine with a tape loop and vintage reel to reel tape recorders. This How-To video shows you how to create a tape loop that runs between two vintage tape recorders, turning them into a silly drum machine. It uses one capstan drive and one rim drive tape recorder to manage an endless loop of tape, that you can make yourself! Although this loop runs at 1-7/8 inches per second, the video gives you an equation that lets you calculate a tape loop for any speed and of any duration.
