Guitar Technology, Gears, Artists News and product reviews

Check out this featured product from Roland US. Looks like it’s getting easier by the day for any aspiring songwriters to capture their ideas quickly and easily.

Picture this, you have a hum running in your head for a few minutes and you think it’s a good one and chances are you will most likely not remember it once you start doing other stuff. With this nift recording gadget in hand, I can immediately play my guitar and start recording the melody and stuff.

The only thing about this gadget is that i don’t think it supports multi track recordings. No mention of it in their website though. Here’s some info extracted from their website:

All-In-One Convenience
Everything you need to record, edit and burn is right there inside the CD-2e. No extra devices or cables to connect. No need to connect it to a computer either. Just turn it on and go. With high-performance stereo speakers, stereo microphone, and CD drive built in, the CD-2e is ready for action right out of the box.

Take it Anywhere
Portability is a key advantage of the CD-2e. Weighing in at less than 1.1 kg (2 lbs 6 oz), it�s lighter than most laptop computers. It�s also slim and trim, at less than 50 mm (2 inches) thick. You can use the CD-2e anywhere since it can run off six AA batteries; for those who prefer to plug in, an AC adaptor is supplied.

*To enable recording to and playback from CD-R/RW media, use of the supplied AC adaptor is required.

Ideal for Music Study
The CD-2e is a great tool for music students, as it allows you to hear and analyze your performances with clean, clear detail. There are several playback modes available, including the ability to change the pitch, key and tempo of playback. A metronome function is provided as well.

Handy Extras
Extra features are built into the CD-2e to make it even more valuable to musicians, including an instrument tuner that works in conjunction with the built-in stereo mic. A wireless remote controller is also provided for off-unit control of playback and recording.

EZ Onscreen Guide
The CD-2e is so friendly to use, even first-timers will feel right at home. The dedicated EASY GUIDE button steps you though each operation, with instructions available in six languages.

*Available display languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Japanese.

Options
Two valuable options are available for the CD-2e. The CB-CD2E is a semi-hard-shell protective carrying case that provides mesh pockets for CDs, SD cards, batteries and documents. A cushioned divider is also provided to separate the CD-2e from the AC adaptor. The CS-15R is an external stereo microphone specially designed for the CD-2e. It comes with cabling, desktop stand, hand-held mount, windscreen and travel pouch.
