“For recording, the PX5D works great with other applications like Garage Band etc...by giving you a much wider range of sounds than you'd have otherwise.” “For live performance, the PX5D gives you access to many different tones and backing tracks which are very fun to play over.” “For practice, I use the phrase trainer to record my favorite licks, slow them down at pitch, and learn them at a comfortable tempo. This helps to absorb the lick in a healthy way. I'll then do variations of the lick to one of the many pre-programmed rhythms. It's a quick, effective way to develop your playing.” “I've also been using it to develop ideas for studio recording sessions. With eighty seconds of memory, I can loop a section of a song and play over it until I have a part I like. I can then record myself playing the idea to the rhythm track to listen back and try harmonies or other complimentary parts.” “On a recent recording session, I set up my own separate station in the back of the control room with my laptop, additional guitar and PX5D. While the engineer was editing, loading the next song or taking a break, I'd be reviewing and developing ideas with the PX5D. When it was time to track, I was much better prepared. “
