Moreover, it’s too bad they didn’t integrate a built-in speaker if you record via the mic you’ll need to listen back to your takes with headphones (not included). Of course WAV offers better sound quality, but is this the real point of a device like this? A compressed format would have easily fit 10 times more audio in its memory without sacrificing sound quality, which, for a tool of this kind, is not the priority. It seems that Line6 didn’t deem it necessary to use less space-consuming formats such as MP3 or AAC. Note that the Backtrack only supports WAV format. ![]() There are also intermediary settings (22, 32 and 44.1 kHz) for greater flexibility. The manufacturer claims an autonomy of more than 8 hours and its memory (2GB) allows the user to record 4 hours of audio in 24 bit/48 kHz or 24 hours in 16-bit/11 kHz. This connection lets you get to the audio you recorded with the Backtrack as well as recharge the internal battery. The first thing that should be mentioned is that the device is USB powered. There are two versions: the Backtrack, which is designed to record instruments via a jack, and the Backtrack + Mic with the same features, but which also has an integrated microphone which allows you to record any acoustic instrument. It has a belt clip on the back, a ¼-inch guitar input as well as a ¼-inch output so you connect it to an amp. The Backtrack is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and is therefore easily transportable. It’s both simple and original! But let’s take a closer look at the device. ![]() Just press the big Mark button in the center of the device when you want to keep something you just played. No, there’s nothing magical hidden in this little box the size of a pack of cigarettes, and the process is simple: Backtrack continuously records after being activated and automatically splits out audio events thanks to its silence detection. ![]() How many times have you wished that you could go back in time and hit the record button right before inspiration hit you? Line6 has come up with something along these lines with its portable recorder, the Backtrack, a small device that lets you save a take after the fact. Unfortunately, we often realize too late that we should have recorded what we just played.
