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

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

I called the local dealer to check it out:

They have the Micro Tech I (silver) that comes with a 128mb built-in memory...upgreadable with memory chipset of course.....
But the price tag is not a piece of cake: 700 USD excluding additional memory

So I am gona look for other similar devices from other brands and see what do to....

^ yike 700 seems a bit step, theres loads of other devices that work just aswell for a lot less cash!

I found this everywhere a lot cheaper than that. !! R-09 was dearer

Just got back from virgin Megastore, same model M-Audio MT1 @ 550 USD...
(such a difference of prices between a shop and the other !)

I have to keep on searching, haven't found any other brand of digital recording yet...

the m audio microtrack II is awesome. records directly to compact flash, no moving parts, 2496. it's wicked for field recordings if you're into that as well.

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

That's the one I have put up the ebay links for.

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

^yeah, i've used it. wicked lil machine, especially considering how cheap compact flash is these days.

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

^^ that seems to me to be more practical than memory on board. Keep it small as well !!

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

I have called many tech equipment stores: radio shack, virgin, etc etc...the only professional digital recording device i found till now is the M-Audio 1 @ 550 $..best deal around yet..

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

radio shack? virgin? lol. you need to be looking at pro audio stores.

did you read the replies above about the microtrack II ? there are links posted above where to purchase, or are you set on paying $500 for the Maudio1?

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

i take you arent wanting to get one shipped?

[Shiva]

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

Yes, I read the comments above, thank you ALL.

I am not set for anything yet; I called many "pro" audio shops here, but none of them has it... so I will keep on searching for now. I like the M-Audio II, it looks very performant and cool to use. At the end of all this, if I dont find it in the local market I will have it shipped or ask someone who travels to get it for me...
