thinking of buying ....
Hi all,
From the title, you may have already guessed that I’m thinking of buying a 1266. However, before I take the leap, could someone out there tell me whether it can do the following 2 things…. Here goes:
1) I’m predominately a guitar player and used a tape based 4 track many moons ago, so I’m sure the 1266 can do all that plus more, however, I also want to import audio from cd’s to play around with. Say I have 2 samples on, say, track 1 and track 2, can the tempo of track 1 be changed to match the tempo of track 2, and without affecting the pitch of either (or would a need to buy a sampler for this kind of stuff ?)
2) How can info be exchanged between the 1266 hard drive and a pc or mac. Is there usb/ firewire, or just burning cds. And are the tracks separate wav files when downloaded to pc/ mac)?
PS, Anybody got any views on the Boss BR1180 or Yamaha AW16g as to whether these machines would be better suited for the above?
Apologies for the long post, just want to be precise!
Thanks in advance

Grretings greenflash, the 1266 is the machine for you my hard rockin' amigo!
Yes, you can import audio from CD onto tracks within a "project" which can be stretched or compressed to alter tempo as you describe. Zoom call it "phrase looping" in the manual.
And yes ,you can buy a USB interface card for the 1266 to allow you to connect to your PC and do all sorts of cool stuff but I'm afraid it's an extra and not included as standard. Costs about £100 here in the UK.
The Boss and Yamaha are equivalent machines but to get the most bang for yer buck go for the Zoom.

Thanks for the info, Flame Top!
But the answers have led me to more questions!!!
How is the time stretch controlled? Is it limited to inputting a new overall length for the track (ie, shorter time to speed up 1 of the samples), or can you play both tracks and increase/ decrease the speed of 1 of the tracks to match the other by ear. The first method would surely mean alot of maths (beats per minute) or trial and error, or have i missed something??
Does the USB card allow for interfacing with a MAC as well as PC, and do you know whether the the separate tracks are preserved if the project is copied before mastering. If so, are they appe WAV file format?? Also, does this mean I could use the cd burner in my MAC (save me 50 quid!!)
Lastly, forgot to ask this in my first post, but can the pitch of a track be altered independently of the speed, ie, if I record a guitar track but realise its slightly out of key, etc, can this be adjusted??
Thanks again for any info, its either an aw16g or 1266, for the money , it looks like the 1266 ....

Hi Guys, I bought the 1266 today after some serious deliberating, having only ever used a Tascam 414 am still a little apprehensive.
Mine came with a built in cd writer for the price of £499 which I feel will prove to be a bargain if I can eventually get my head round it.
At the moment i'm having problems recording a drum track from the rhythm bank. I've followed the procedure from the manual but must be doing something wrong.
The sound seems to be excellent however and i've managed to record a few vocal tracks just to see how they sound and also used the effects for my accoustic guitar which are also very good.
I would really appreciate any help from you guys.
Just one last thing, I was using an accoustic guitar with a clip on pick up for the first time today and was getting a fair bit of hissing, which stops if i touch the pick up, any ideas? thanks very much.
