I fed through JAMIN afterwards to > compress them a bit. Just to chime in. I got myself one of those small portable stereo recorders, too. In my case it's the Marantz PMD620. I hooked up a Audio Technica Pro 24 stereo mic to it and i like the result of recording stuff with it, too.. Here's a sample track of my latest gig 2 weeks ago (third set): http://tapas.affenbande.org/ifc/kamp_ifc_4.10.2008_1008.mp3 Music starts something like a minute or two into the mp3. Loud drummer and since i refuse to turn up my guitar above a certain level it is too quite at times.. Same for the bass player.. Mike placement was part of the problem, too.. The internal Mics in the Marantz are a bit too much on the bright side for my taste, but also very usable.. Ah btw: before buying the Marantz anyone: Its USB support is quite shabby. Nonworking under linux [though it declares itself as USB-Storage so it should work].. There has been a firmware upgrade supposedly fixing this, but it might lock up the recorder, so i rather not use it and it has been consequently pulled from the Marantz Website.. I'll get myself a SD-Card reader for the PC.. To sum it up: These devices are excellent for recording rehearsals/gigs etc. to be able to study them afterwards.. A real album recording would need more effort (miking individual instruments, etc) Regards, Flo -- Palimm Palimm! http://tapas.affenbande.org _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
