Location: Chehalis, Washington | Does anyone have a preference or input on a decent (but cheap) digital recorder system? Preferably, something that will work with XLR inputs and connect via USB.
I'm mostly concerned with being able to record from mics, as I have a great set of studio mics but no interface for them, and want to be able to record guitars/amps/vocals onto mp3 or wav formats. |

Location: south east Michigan | Didn't we just talk about this???
Look into the couple models offered by Line 6.
I'm happy with mine. |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | I guess I should have rephrased the question. If I already have a set of good studio mics, and am not concerned with needing super-portability with a little pocket-size unit, is something like the Olympus LS-10 or Tascam DR-1 still the best choice, or is there a good fixed recorder/mixer unit with software that I can use for about the same money? |

Location: Chicago | I'm happy with my Zoom H4: it has TWO mic inputs in addition to its very decent built-in stero mics. For direct live recording, it's fantastic. Easy to interface with computer and comes bundled with good software. If you like, I can email you a sample of a recording we did with it in the "out-of-the-box" point-and-click mode (gdobrov@luc.edu)
Downside: the Four-track option is complicated by the "techniqe-y" button and toggle switch system. |
