memyself&I Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I want to get a digital recorder for taping live concerts. One I was looking at is Tascam DR-07. Has anyone made any experiences with that one? Which other recorders could you recommend?Which features should a good recorder have? Where do you put you recorders during the show to avoid too many disturbances? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
In a little rowboat Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I use a Sony minidisc Hi D system...its small, the discs are re-recordable, and you can choose your own microphones...granted its 5 year old technology, but i love mine...in the right mode, the HiD recordings are drag and drop on top my Mac with USB With recorders you basically need adjustable record level, good battery life, long record time (memory), and a bass roll off...i prefer units that allow my to select my mics and have phantom power... My set up: Minidisc faq site Example of microphones Im sure there are newer models that use flash memory and are smaller, but they generally have integrated mics, which i dont care for...im interested in what other s use Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jtrollmann Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I bought a Zoom H4n a few months ago and really love it. I've been using it to record my own shows as well as getting down ideas while songwriting. It's got two built in stereo mics (which produce an amazingly clear sound), and additional inputs for two more mics, for a total of 4. This is the first digital recorder I've owned. The H4n in the latest version in their line of hand held recorders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
