Churchill's Lament

[fluter]

Samson makes a couple of small, excellent recorders, such as the Zoom H2

That's very cute! A few years ago, the choice of the gigging classical musician was a portable minidisc recorder, although I'm still stuck in the DAT (digital audio tape) era.

This may be a worthy successor, assuming the microphones are decent. It has a USB interface so that you could upload to a computer system, and take it from there...

I loved the MiniDisc recorders, have 4 of them, unfortunately Sony decided to phase them out in favor of mp3 recorders. I went to MiniDisco.com and picked up about 50 blank discs so I am set for awhile. I feel the Minidisc format is much better than mp3, the Samson H2 and H4, and the Roland Edirol which is similar, let you change recording formats and sampling rates so the sound quality is still there, I'm just not fond of the SD cards, too small therefore easy to lose and sometimes you get a bad one. It is amazing however that they get so much data on such a small thing.
