badbass Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I am wondering if anyone has used any digital recorders. Like the ones made by zoom. I play guitar and need to record things I create when I fool around with things. When I make something up I want to play it back to see if it has any substance. Maybe build on it from there. I can't bring the Ubuntu Studio box everywhere. Let me know what you might have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Second hand cassette 4 tracks work a treat, are cheap and portable, or invest in a newer digital 8 track with all the bells and whistles. They make them small enough now to fit in a carry on bag, use SD cards for storage and have USB to copy/mix down songs to PC for burning. http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&q=digital+8+track+sd+card&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1436&bih=744&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=1106199550601251070&sa=X&ei=ZXqqT6i0M-_46QGDwcHFDg&ved=0CHYQ8wIwAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfam Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) I am wondering if anyone has used any digital recorders. Like the ones made by zoom. I play guitar and need to record things I create when I fool around with things. When I make something up I want to play it back to see if it has any substance. Maybe build on it from there. I can't bring the Ubuntu Studio box everywhere. Let me know what you might have done. I've been playing professionally for 3 decades, and highly recommend the Tascam GT-R1. Tascam GT-R1 I use this l'il guy when I'm sitting in the living room and don't feel like going into the studio. More like a full-featured "note taker" for when I'm inspired and write a lick, or a song, or a melody, and just want to throw it down so I don't forget it. It's an incredible little piece of gear that is PACKED with features for it's size: - A lot of nice effects for both electric and acoustic(a little noisy, but not bad at all!) - A full rhythm section that you can play over, or have it record to your track - Overdubbing - Supports Bass as well (including the effects section) - Nice stereo "room" mics so you can just record ambient room sound, or plug in and record direct in. - Uses an SD card - Records to wav or mp3 (so you can import it directly into whatever DAW you're using if you want to) - USB port - Rechargable etc, etc, etc For the money it can't be beat, and it sounds like you'd use it exactly as I do. It filled that little gap perfectly as no other device could. It's not a replacement for a studio/DAW, but as a portable device that you can capture inspiration with on the go or without having to recluse yourself to the studio, it's perfect. Good luck brother, hope this helped! eta: WOW!!!!! It's down to $149!!!! a STEAL!! Edited May 9, 2012 by hfam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
