Are this tape? Can you record, erase and record again...maybe three time...?

You can record and re-record MiniDV tapes, but each time you record, the quality decreases. Professionals (and semi-professionals) never re-record because of this, but it is certainly possible.

yes you just double click the button and it stops it then click it again to play. and with multiple layers you click once and hold to erase the last layer you recorded. and double click and hold to erase the whole thing.

You can stop recording, yes. The thing is, there is no such thing as "pause" anymore when it comes to digital camcorders. I worry that you may be thinking of the old-days, like 8mm or video tape or VHS or even digital tapes like Mini-DV when things were actually recorded on a piece of tape so if you hit "pause" then re-recorded after any amount of time, the TAPE would start recording exactly where you left off. Now that everything is digital and video data is recorded onto SD cards, memory cards, computers, etc., when you "pause" the camcorder will create a new TRACK. Like a CD. It's like the difference between a cassette tape and a CD. The data exists in a different realm. You can stop recording, yes.

Oh, it can be re-used as many times as needed. I originally made this post before I received mine. It can record up to 60 minutes. If you need more than 60 minutes, simply plug it into your usb port and store the video file on your computer and then delete it off of the camera. Video files are in AVI format

YES.... one can, as example, Record, tracks, 1, 2, 3....and then, later on,Listen to these 3 trax, While recording separate tracks, 4, 5, etc...upto you , to be synchronized....or layer on.... songs, trax...exactly like a Tape machine... have fun.

It's a loop recording so it erases past info. Just get an 8 gb card. Only record in 3 minute sessions as you won't be able to send recorded video if file is too big.

Perhaps a little test would be in order. Delete all the messages from the recorder and then re-record some messages and see how many you can record.

The recordings can be repeated forever (with new AAA). They have to be recorded individually, if you want to change one you have to re-record all of them. I put the sound bites on my computer and recorded it from the computer to the device with the built in microphone before putting it in a stuffed bear. So I can record them in the future or change them. The quality of the recording is disappointing even when recorded in a quiet room but it worked ok for my project. I was hoping to be able to transfer the files over with a USB. That would have been better if the option existed. Hope this helps. The recordings can be repeated forever (with new AAA).

You cannot record over an existing recording, but you can erase the file and record again. I'm not sure you'll be satisfied with this as a music recording system - you would be better served by buying a cheap USB studio mic ($25 or so) and recording on your computer.

It is possible check out some of the YouTube video, Single click to start record once recorded it's an overdub, click and hold to erase the whole loop, double click to stop. Double click to start again. Great pedal

Sorry, but I haven't reached that point yet. But I'm guessing when memory storage has been reached, it won't record any more. I'm still getting more familiar with mine but so far have been very pleased with it. I use my "antique" recorder as a backup.

Yes , you can record any part of the VHS tape. You run your tape and stop the tape at the begining of the part you want to copy, hit record and then at the end of the part you want copied you hit stop.

Yes you can. You should be able to record more than 2 songs as well. Hope this helps you

How do you record something on it? I want to put it inside of a stuffed animal and don't want what was recorded on it to be erased. So is it real easy to rerecord?

It should be possible to erase/edit existing matter on "self-recorded" formerly blank tapes, provided that you haven't depressed the protective tabs, as mentioned in one of the other replies. Even on a pre-recorded commercial tape, for that matter, as long as you place strong adhesive tape over the holes where the recording tabs were, you should be able to erase/record over (in one action) whatever was there. As another respondent said, editing (erasing some, keeping some) is pretty tricky, but everyone who owned a cassette recorder in the '70s and '80s has had a go at it. It's largely guesswork, trial and error. This model should certainly be capable of all of the above. Hope this proves useful.

I have been using these tapes for data backup for about 10 years. They are rewriteable tapes, though you can lock them to keep them from being over-written if you want to preserver their data.

I tried couple of times,it acts like is recording like the countdown and REC mode on display , but when you want to replay what you recorded said " error format " or something like that.
