my ipod died after two months, weak.
now i have a zoom h2, which is a great little stereo live recorder as well as flash drive WAV or mp3 recorder/player. ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
I've been talking to some sound engineers with hands-on knowledge of the H2. There's a lot of handling noise, so a little tripod is essential, and the ext. mic preamps are crap apparently. But I have some side jobs where it'll make life a lot easier and pay for itself with the first one. You can't be me, I'm taken
the onboard mikes are outstanding, so no need for external. i have recorded using line in and it's fine.
the best attribute is the ability to dump WAV files straight to the puta, and v.v.
burn a cd of rehearsal in minutes! or throw it on a usb drive.
watch the sensitivity switch. high can distort easy. low is real low.
it's light, small, tough, and good on battery power, rechargeable AA's last 2-3 hrs, and it takes bigger flash drives, tho' i am happy with 2G.
sweet lil gizmo, especially at the price. ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
