In the Studio - Korg Sound on Sound Recorder

[MorrisonoStudios]

How come I can't find one of these things?

[78KevinHayes]

I'm sold. I'm buying it with my next paycheck.

[williamsterben]

Many thanks for the info.

[SONGSTICKS]

that looks like a good gismo to have

[MrTyler7070]

so would i just plug my guitar in to this and pick an effect and the sound comes from the recorder or speakers that its set up to?

[skatingistheancre]

do you have to have enternet to put the songs on the computer?

[ankhaton]

Hi so good

I have as third song on my main page

"So easy for the ears"

Could that be produced (without the solo)

on this device

Would you please try it ??

And if you are with me

give me a thumb on OBAMA BLUES please :) if you like it !!

[cutpercut]

what's the software, is it provided with the sos?

[eightsmileys]

Nice video :)

I would like to know if it includes a metronome?

[polishskaterdude32]

can i plug it into the amp so i get the sound that i have already created on my floor effect?

[DrBassMD]

This recorder would be perfect - absolutely perfect - if it had a USB interface. Without it? It's not something I'd really seriously consider. It's baffling that Korg included that on their MR2 but overlooked it on the SOS.

[sujaybarad]

Does it have a function that loops recorded parts. As in if i have a rhythm that remains consistent throughout, can it loop it repeat?

[championkhan]

No amp required?? whaaaaaaaaaaaatttt?!?!?!

Dost mine eyes deceive me?

[irwinski33]

If you could export the tracks "dry" as well as with the FX, this would be a REALLY handy little device. Anyone know if you can export without the FX? (Yes I know how unlikely this is, and how difficult it would be to engineer . . . ) I understand you can record dry . . . if you could monitor wet and record dry that would be very handy too . . . Just dreaming . . .

[degekkejoop]

What is the computer system, where you put the sounds in, called? DAW-system?

[cacav]

@degekkejoop DAW stands for digital audio workstation. It is a a specific computer program that runs into your computer. common DAW's are Logic, ProTools, Ableton etc

[coughlintm]

is it possible to have a guitar amp mic'd up and reocrd on the sos, or do you have to use the modeling sounds?

[creepybasement]

Is there any way to put, lets say a "2:10" .mp3 or .wav, into the micro mem card. I want to be able to record over tracks I made in FL Studio, so this would be a very important plus for me. Is it possible?

[javiceres]

Nice but please, just get a hair cut !!!

[kasperkr]

How do you connect it to the computer!? I don't know how to get my songs overthere.

[jonescomplete]

@kasperkr did it come with USB 2.0 cord? there should be a direct computer line on the device. If you do not have one you can pick them up on amazon for a good price (3-4 dollars shipping included). made sure you get the right input type though...

[nazareno74]

amazing recorder, A manual exists in Spanish of this tape recorder ????????? SPANISH PLEASE!!! :D

[bergweg]

Question: Let's say I have a 30sec loop playing and I am recording a solo over it, the length of the solo turns out to be 2 min long: Will the SR1 save the solo in a 2 min wav file or will it split it into four 30sec files (just like the length of the loop)? I need to have the possibility of the loop playing while recording a longer track over it, without it being split into files equaling the length of the loop.

[ismash23]

are these good for keyboards?

[KonguAwesome]

When you were recording the instruments, did you have an amp or is it all on board?

[TheProcessOfProgress]

how do i upload audio to SOS so i can play/ sing along with it like singing with instrumental song, or do i have to record instrumental

[estewarrior1]

the SOS brings the DAW software?

[mentalooney]

This thing is the start of a revolution, It's the future. Zoom, Tascam and Sony will be thinking "oh sheet, we never thought of that" making audio tracks into a database and summing them into a "sound on sound" update-able mix is so obvious that it was in everyones blind-spot. For under £200 - I am definitely getting one of these. Even if those drums are vile and I will never use a guitar input. I'm going to buy this piece of history.

[guitarman2323]

I haven't seen anyone do vocals w/ it yet. Can you also lay down an acoustic guitar track and vocal track together. This thing is going to be great for recording/ practicing so I don't have to boot up Pro Tools every time I get an idea practicing. Trying to record w/ a new baby in the house has its challenges as well.

[DesireSpasm]

Who else thinks this guy does the soundtrack for all the sonic games?

Also this thing seems a little too geared toward guitar for my taste.

I don't know what self-respecting musician thinks it's a good idea to put pre-recorded drums on their track and having multiple sections on the thing for onboard effects and loops seems like it's taking up space that could have been used to put in something that appeals to all musicians.

[Harry13091983]

Have this recorder a tuner on board?

[KorgUSAVideos]

@Harry13091983

Yes, the SOS has a "Korg" tuner built in. you can access it by scrolling through the Menu.

[Harry13091983]

@KorgUSAVideos Cool! Thanx!!!

[trulynot]

That was a good presentation. I am guessing you cant undo once you have committed to a track ? Say, you cant go back and delete the bass part on the SOS ? Its stuck in the overdub mix ?

I know you can manipulate all the wavs separately later in the DAW

[destinjohnny]

Got one didnt work all right everyone makes mistakes no worries..Then called customer service they didnt know there arse from a hole in the ground, Then they told me hey man its 4:55 we are done. You wanna call back tommorrow. Ummm i don think so mate and im taking it back so rock on Korg!

[0hmish]

Does anybody know if it can record line-in/mic-in AND internal mic(s)?

[redleri]

Here's a tune tune I recorded on SOS:

[isocrate27]

Does it come with the fancy wig?

[bolnn66]

i bought the sos, the manual tells me everything it can do but doesn't tell me how to do it. This could be really cool if I knew how to use it. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to record a song, each part drums, guitar and bass. When i attempt this and play back the drums I cannot hear the guitar to record it etc. etc. need help!!!

[VOXampsforever]

@bolnn66 You need to disable the REC "ON" in the Rhythm page after recording the rhythm, otherwise you will not hear the other modeling effects.

[quickmantan]

why dont they ever show us how the microphone picks things up... if you are going to plug in with wires they youll might aswell use the multitrack or whatever you normally use... who in the world would carry a guitar a bass, a microphone the sos and all the leads required in their pocket,,, noone exactly... and why the hell make the microphon input a sall connection...

i like this for the idea of jotting down ideas for song writers with acoustic guitars..

[VOXampsforever]

@quickmantan Hey man good point. I will have a video short on this exact topic. Look for it in the next couple of weeks bro.

[quickmantan]

@VOXampsforever

yer look forward to it thanks.

[mazsenior]

External speaker volume is poor, and no USB port....so bring headphones and buy a USB Card Reader Adapter. I do like the device as it's straight forward to use....Hopefully SOS 2.0 will probably have some improvements.

[crowderscustomizing]

can youy use it as a simple guitar pratice tool, using the drum beats?

[VOXampsforever]

@crowderscustomizing Yes, as it has a phrase trainer feature.

[skipkent]

Great review! Question: If I were to use the stereo input on the SOS to record 2 separate audio sources (kick drum mic and overhead, for example, panned hard left and right) would I then be able to extract those as 2 separate tracks in my DAW? Thanks in advance. GREAT sounding product!

[morandinus]

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! I would record just acoustic guitars and vocals. Is it good for that? Does it have a metronome?

Greetings from Italy!

[darksideofdarkness]

Can anybody tell if it can be possible to loop a single track while you record a jam in another?

[Every1LuvzaPlayer]

Loop recording

The A/B Loop function can repeatedly play back a specified section of the song a great way to practice your instrument or build up your song. In addition, you can even record while looping, creating results similar to a looper effect.

(from KORG site)

[jamonsilva]

Not possible, there are no tracks. It overdubs to a single track while also saving the individual overdubs as .wav files for future import.

[KorgUSAVideos]

Yes it is possible, as you can "LOOP RECORD"

[jamonsilva]

@KorgUSAVideos While it is possible I misinterpreted the question, the "single track" seemed to indicate that they were wanting to loop a single track while overdubbing in another. The Korg SR1 does not have playback tracks,so it is not possible to solo your bass track, loop it, and record guitar on another. It is also not possible to loop a 4-bar beat while recording endlessly on top of it.

[ballademaker]

can i use this i play keyboards like korg karma, looks great this device:)) thanks for answer.

[KorgUSAVideos]

Yes, as the SOS has a line in, or if you want, you canplug into he guitar input.

[Geepsterr]

@KorgUSAVideos Great. CAN you record a vocal and guitar input at he same time while hearing guitar effects in the phones? Even if the BWF waves are mono or L & R . This seems intuitively desirable for the singer songwriter. Of course the BWFs being dry is also desirable.

[SGTgodders12345]

@KorgUSAVideos can plug a mp3 player/ipod in there and play over the top of it

[groovymoovie]

awesome! when will it be available in europe?

[jamonsilva]

For the UK, search for "Korg SR1" not "Korg SOS".

[kokeklasick]

nice got to try this
