For recording vinyl, I use an original UREI 1620 and a MBOX 2 Pro (With Pro Tools LE).

It really does sound great and you can use the Normalization tools in Pro Tools to beef up the sound.

There's no chance at Space .... although Pacha wouldn't have been a problem last year for Diggers, Hernan and Van M.

I go to a lot of jazz gigs too and got hacked off using my mini-disc recorder.

i have the edirol r-09 and it is awesome. you can record wav's with it. you record to a sd card ... and i think sd cards go up to 8gb these days? maybe even 16gb. anyways, it is awesome. you can chose the bit rate you record at, has a line in and the sound off it is awesome...gonna record a set w/ it tonight.

also if you are into production at all the mic on the end can give you some quality found sound stuff... is dope

yo shawn dee six foe!, can you share that mix, I want to listen to the quality of this edirol r-09.

Do you plug this in directly or do you use the built in mic and reverb function??

the mix in the promos section was recorded with my r-09 (i am scd, from b-sides)

i ran a line from the rec out of my mixer to the 1/4in mic jack on the unit.


i use the mic for recording sounds for production ... we had an awesome thunderstorm last night... i was recording that....

Re: What is the best device to use for live recordings?

Im curious about the r-09. You say you can record directly into the sd card or internal hd right? Now this might sound noObish, but what does the mic do in terms of recording?

I mean does it make the recording sound more "live"? Is there anything out there that recrods like the Essential Live mixes? You know, crisp and clean and then it fades out into the crowd noise for a bit, then back to the studio sound.... That would be bad ass.

Im assuming its either or right?

on the r-09... there is no internal HD... only sd cards. but the good thing is it runs on sd cards and normal batteries, so no matter what happens you can buy batteries and a sd card anywhere... bought both in prague, when all i had on me was my backpack.

yes its either mic or line in.

the m-audio works good, but is bigger than the edirol r-09

Re: What is the best device to use for live recordings?

I think she was gonna buy that M-Audio one.

Re: What is the best device to use for live recordings?

I want to know if she did though! I live vicariously through other people spending money

I also want a review!!

Re: What is the best device to use for live recordings?

hahaha, yeah I showed my buddy this post as he's also looking for something similar (he cant seem to make his pc work to record), so he too might be getting the m-audio. If he does, I might end up with that edilor.
