Portable audio recorders review

You are a DJ or a live performer and you want to record on the fly your set.
Okay, but no recorder device in the booth, or this antique and dust-full tape recorder : better than nothing but of course you don't have tape.
So you really need your own and very portable digital recorder.

Best of all is a .wav recorder with analog and digital input, there are not many devices that can do that. Most of cheaper portable recorders on the market use flash memory and Mp3 compression.
Also a lot of flash and HD Mp3 players can Record in Mp3 format.


Gemini i-key ($150) :



No internal memory so you need to plug in an external USB hard drive or thumb drive, and it’ll take a line signal, convert it to MP3 or WAV and transfer it to your storage device.
Not expensive but not very usefull...


Zoom PS-04 ($200) :



Only Mp3 recording on flash memory, but built in effects processor and drum computer.
Can record 2 tracks simultaneously, built-in condenser mic.
Very versatile and cheap micro studio.


Edirol R-1 ($430) :


Let's start serious thing :
Internal Microphone (stereo).
Stereo Line Input.
Recording data format WAV and MP3.
Uses CompactFlash card Up to 2 GB capacity.
Signal Processing AD/DA conversion 24 bit / 44.1 kHz.
Internal Effects, Metronome, & Tuner.
Professional features for affordable price but you must buy a storage media too...


M-audio Microtrack ($400) :



Records WAV and MP3 files to CompactFlash or microdrives.
Balanced line inputs.
S/PDIF digital input.
Built-in high-fidelity microphone preamps with phantom power.
Lithium-ion battery, and the unit can recharge via the computer’s USB connection.
My favorite one.


Edirol r-4 ($1600) :



40GB hard disk drive.
Record up to four channels at once.
Edit waveforms on the recorder itself.
Superior 24-bit/96-kHz Linear recording as WAV filesl.
Digital Input/Output.
Expensive but with hard disk and pro features recording device.


Iriver ihp-140 ($400) :



Dicontinued device, but The Killer !!!
For a low budget you get :
Uncompressed Wav (16/44,1) and Mp3 recording.
40Gb HD.
Analog and Digital input /output.
Built in microphone.
Li-ion battery powered (16 hours of use)
Check the Bay !!!
