Frisbsteve Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I'm a newbie to recording. I noticed the JM4 Looper and thought it'd be nice to have drum tracks as well as the other instrument tracks available for background as I lay down loops of rhythm, lead and maybe even vocals w/ the XLR imput option. Another attractive feature is the SD card (ability to transfer to compurter & make audio copies or CD's). So, my questions have to do w/ recording, and seperation of tracks for mixing purposes. :unsure: 1.) Can I record w/ the JM4 by mic'ing my guitar amp through the XLR input as I would vocals? If so, will it also record loops of vocal tracks to overdub on those mic'd amp tracks? :unsure: 2.) Once I've created loops of "endless jam tracks" and/or "drum grooves" along w/ overdubs of self played tracks and saved them to SD card, will I be able to seperate tracks on computer software for mixing purposes later? Thanks for your consideration, :wub: Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 i know you can use the xlr to record anything really. i don't think that it keeps your loops separate though. sounds like you need one of those multitrack recorders and a footswitch honestly.... you could have fun with the looper, i just don't think you'd find it to be an adequate recording solution based on your questions.
