I don't have to remember to pack a separate recorder, it's just all sitting in my gig bag along with my pedals and guitar strap. There's no messing with elaborate recording rigs.
I can record clean guitar tracks wherever I happen to be and lay vocals over them later. It costs about the same as a high-end premium instrument cable, so why not? (Case in point: this Steve Vai signature cable).Īs I've played with it and used it, it has grown on me. My final verdict on the Memory Cable is that it's a bit of a what-the-hell purchase for a musician like me. It runs on an AA battery and can record up to 13 hours of playing, which should cover all but the most epic of jam sessions. The sound was clean and clear coming from both my acoustic and my electric guitars. It was simple to just pop the memory card out, plug it into my computer, and listen right away to what I had just played. I'm no audiophile, but I was pleasantly pleased by the sound quality captured by the Tascam recorder. This is not a bad option for a quick at-home recording arrangement, so long as I'm willing to sit there with a mic instead of roaming around the living room like I usually do when I'm writing a song. It doesn't have to be plugged into anything on the other end in order to work. If I really want to combine vocals and guitar simultaneously, I can run the Memory Cable through the out on my little acoustic combo amp, which accommodates a mic and guitar input at the same time. The other guitarist thought it simply sounded like a handy thing to have around. You could just meld together the recordings from everyone's Memory Cables to make a quick multi-track song. The bass player/drummer suggested that everyone in a band could have one. I turned to my bandmates to get their take on the gadget. I don't think I missed any great moments of genius at band practice that night, though. I either failed to completely click the microSD card into place, or I jostled it out when I closed the cover. My first experience with the Memory Cable was a letdown, solely due to user error. (You can also do both at the same time, and well get to that. Instrumental composers and guitarists who don't want to forget the perfect lick in the heat of an improvisation session will find plenty to like here, though. You can either plug it straight in to your recording system, or mic up your favourite guitar amp. It's not as handy as a scratchpad for songwriting if you want to also record vocals. Its main purpose is to record your guitar. When the two notes match perfectly, the pulsation stops and the two notes sound, as one.I've been scratching my head a bit about the $99 Gibson Memory Cable. As you tune the string, the pitches get closer and the pulsation slows. If your string is slightly out of tune, you will hear a pulsating sound between the two notes. Click the string you want to tune and play the corresponding string on your guitar so the two notes sound together.
