Tascam CD-VT1mkII Instrument / Voice Training Tool

CD-VT1mkII Instrument / Voice Training Tool description:

There's never been a better or more affordable instrument/voice training tool than the Tascam CD-VT1mkII.

The Tascam CD-VT1mkII version includes an enhanced Vocal Canceller that lets you select the cancellation point in the Left-Right stereo pan and also lets you select just midrange or full cancellation. It also adds more Variable Speed options, built-in metronome, split monitoring and a host of other cool new features.

If you can operate a CD player, you can use the Tascam CD-VT1mkII. Take any standard compact disc by your favorite band and put it in the CD mechanism. Then plug a microphone (or two) directly into the CD-VT1mkII's 1/4" inputs. Put on some headphones, set the volume, and start rocking!

With the Tascam CD-VT1mkII, you get a training method that's even better. Not only can you slow down the speed of the CD by up to 50%, but you can do it without changing the pitch of the original material! After you learn the song at a slow speed, you can increase the tempo in steps until you can match the original performance note for note. Also, you can change the pitch of the CD without changing the speed...use this feature to "tune the CD" to your instrument or vocal range.

The Tascam CD-VT1mkII has 18 great-sounding built-in customizable effects...you don't need to turn to external boxes for reverb, echo and more. The Voice Changer effect pitches the input up or down one octave, and the Vocal Canceller eliminates the original vocal so you can sing along.
