Got meself one of those all-in-one digital recorders

[Daniel G]

After this clip and the one in the players forum hunter, i can honestly say i can't wait to hear how that nifty little thing will hold up in a band enviroment, if it does well, i might just have to go out and buy me one

Recorded during last rehearsal on the new "low" setting for the DR-1 (firmware update). It was quite loud in the room, but nice quality. There is a slight issue with the result in that the waveforms are not symmetric, so they aren't using the bits in all directions and you need to maximise with some kind of compressor/limiter combination to get proper vokume, maybe it was the placement in the room that caused the issue (here I used PSP Vintage Warmer).

The singer had a cold so he didn't give it all and kept it an octave down. And I bummed some parts of the solo :roll:    

So please don't judge the performance but the recording quality for a "one step set and forget" device like this.

That is awesome. Really nice quality. Solid playing too and lovely tone. I might have to look into one of those.

That sounds REALLY good.
Well, that's that then, i'm gonna have to buy me a Tascam.  :D

That recording sounds great hunter!
I want one of these, for lots of things. With the midi capabilities of the Feline custom I'm getting you could have all kinds of sound samples recorded by this Tascam and really get out there, dogs barking, seagulls squawking, trains, rivers, traffic.....oh dear...... the croation lesbian neighbours having an orgasm with a kangol breaker plugged into my electric.....no...no..not that... :lol: ....:roll:

Hm, what you describe is field recording. I haven't tested the DR-1 outside and while moving. I heard that the handling noises are a problem, so is wind. Not sure if the DR-1 is the best choice for that particular application. I think it's the best price/value for loud band stuff inside and on a stand.

Well, that sounds great considering how it was recorded- I'm impressed!

What about some kind of foam muffler over the microphone like those giant things news crews have?

Do you know of any units that are good for field recording?

Well I think state of the art is the Sony PCM-D50. I guess it might even be worth the additional $$ (around 580 EUR). There is a nice furry mic protection available but that costs pretty extra.

Don't get me wrong, the DR-1 is not bad, but I think you might be better off with the Edirol or the Olympus for those applications. But not sure, you should try some (like I did) before buying. Let those shops do sth for their money.

The Sony is very expensive but does sound like an amazing piece of technology.

The Olympus LS-10 sounds good value and you get a built in wind proof jacket.

Thanks for sharing this purchase with us all Hunter, I was totally unaware of these things! They sound like a lot of fun to use. This is a good thing for bootleggers, bands, jounos, podcasters, the list goes on and on.  8)

Welcome. Be careful with the Olympus, it does not cope well with high volumes, at least it didn't get a clean take of a drumset played with lots of punch.

Ok thanks for the tip.  :D  Would you think your Tascam would cope well outdoors with a wind jacket on? It does seem like great value for money.

I contacted Tascam about the AK1 accessory kit for the DR1....

"The accessory kit for the DR-1 is not available yet, it will have a wind shield, tripod and mic stand adaptor.  The price is yet unconfirmed but will probably be between 20 – 30 pounds."

Pity it does not have an existing tripod/mike stand mount.
