You can loop parts that are difficult so you can detect what part each instrument is playing. Valuable tool for church worship teams. close [-]

Everyone needs one of these!

Music Background: Play guitar in my basement for fun
I am learning how to play guitar and without question this tool is one of the most helpful educational items I have ever purchased.

You can load any song in this and slow it down to as ... read more [+]much as 50% of the song speed AND keep it in pitch as well. You can also select portions of the song that you want to repeat over and over as you play along with it. You can do this slowly and gradually increase the speed until you are playing along perfectly with the music.

The recorder function is also very handy. I have recorded myself playing and have found it to be very helpful.

In my opinion this is simply a must have item for anyone who is learning how to play a guitar.

Buy one, you won't regret it!!! close [-]

Awesome

by Mick Guit from NY

Music Background: songwriter, local gigs,
you have to be a mental midget not to be recording in less than 20 minutes. Great sound, you can easily download your recordings and make folders for each category, you can download songs from itunes... read more [+](make sure you preference your itune songs as Mpeg or wav files) You can slow down a song to 50% to learn riffs, you can loop any little part you want and jam with it until you learn it.
The only downside my (research before I bought) told me was that the Jack comes loose. So I don't plug my guitar directly into the GTR-1, I use monitors and play along. close [-]

Great for building chops

by Jon from Minneapolis
January 2, 2012
Music Background: Pro Musician, Composer
My main intent for this unit was as a tool for the woodshed, for which it has worked great! It's helped me "clarify" difficult bass lines that have bothered me for years by allowing me to slow them d... read more [+]own and pick through them. I also used it to record (via the line in) keyboards parts, sequenced drums, etc., so I can jam and practice improvising to chord progressions of my choosing. Want to improvise in a different key? Just shift the pitch of your recording or mp3.

It's also handy for quick recording of A/B comparisons, so you can play them back and concentrate on listening. For example, I just bought an expensive instrument cable, but after recording numerous styles of riffs on my new an old cables, I realized the old one sounded better, and returned the new one. (I was unable to notice these subtle differences when trying to do a live A/B comparison).

Other points:
The drum loops are decent for jamming. Nothing I would try to compose with though.
The onboard effects can be handy, but noisey sometimes.
I found the bass/guitar "cancel function" confusing an ineffective.
The playback looping functions are very handy and easy to use!
The recording level of the line in is not adjustable. (Automatic)
It's annoying that the line in jack is only 1/8"
It bugs me to have to make an mp3 copy of my mp4 iTunes tracks so the GT-R1 can play them back.

Note: I have not yet tried recording with the external mics, so I cannot comment on that aspect of thr GT-R1.

Great service and fast delivery from Sweetwater as usual. close [-]

A cool little tool.

Music Background: Bass player (hobby)
I'm really impressed with the quality when recording our band rehearsing. We did no real effort in adjusting our individual volume levels, and the GT-R1 has given us recordings where we can hear all i... read more [+]nstruments in detail.
As a trainer it comes in handy, and the pitch adjustment and slow-down feature really impressed me and has helped me alot.
The whole trainer part of the GT-R1 is to my opinion good.
The drum machine presets covers wide styles of music, and I as a bass player really enjoy that I can practise how I am on the beat and listen too it afterwards in a one unit setup and without annoying the whole family.
Only things I have found annoying is that you can not name your own recordings on the GT-R1, but have to do this on a connected computer. The 3,5mm headphones socket is really tight, so I am carefull when connecting and disconnecting the plug, since the socket is mounted directly on the internal circuit board and I fear that it could become faulty.

I find that the GT-R1 is great value for money and packs a lot of cool functions and features - truly a cool little tool! close [-]
