Things you can do with the Pocketstudio 5
You’ve probably got lots of ideas of your own how
you can use the Pocketstudio 5. Here are a few that
you might not have thought of:
• Set the two inputs to line level and feed them from
a pair of aux sends of the mixer at a live gig for a
stereo recording.
• If you’re in a cover band, fill the Pocketstudio 5
with stereo MP3s of the original recording and use
them as backing while you learn the songs.
• If you’re a solo keyboard artist, record your MIDI
backings onto Standard MIDI Files, load them into
the Pocketstudio 5 and take it along to your next
gig. Add a MIDI keyboard, cable, mic and cable,
audio cables and some powered speakers, and
that’s it! You can even get your guitarist friends to
join in.
• If you’re producing a solo artist, make a rough of
the backing onto SMF, and pass it on to the artiste
to practice at home on their Pocketstudio 5. Once
they’ve got it worked out, they can come into the
studio and lay down their vocal lines to the proper
backing.
• Take the Pocketstudio 5 anywhere—inspiration
might even strike on the beach! The batteries allow
you to record your ideas anywhere. The line output
can plug into your car stereo with a cassette adapter
or a line input.
• If you’re a guitarist or singer, but not a MIDI
arranger, you can get someone else to do the MIDI
backing, based on your ideas, and then you add
your acoustic lines afterwards.
• Download SMFs (the legal, free ones) from the
Internet, and jam along, or sing karaoke.
• You can even use the Pocketstudio 5 as a remov-
able disk drive for boring things like word process-
ing documents and spreadsheets. Your digital
camera probably uses the same media (CF cards).
And on a less serious note…
• Who’s got the biggest MP3 player? As the owner
of a Pocketstudio 5, you’ll probably win every
time.
• Keep a 7-year-old happy for hours by telling them
it’s a video game! Peace and quiet guaranteed.
