Is this good enough to record your violin practices?

I didn't record on it, but I should mention that the one I got played pre-recorded cassettes at warp speed, completely unintelligible.

For personal use yes, for quality purposes I may seek something with s bit more quality though...

Absolutely. I teach piano and guitar and use it for my guitar students. Good volume. I think you will like it and the price is right.

Sorry I can't comment on its recording quality since I only have knowledge of the quality of sound when playing pre-recorded cassettes. You can always give it a try and return it via Amazon's return policy if you're not happy with the quality of recorded sound. Amazon is most gracious with its return policy. Good luck!

NO, it records, but does not function as a player. You will be able to preview what you compose before recording

It depends on what you want to record. If the volume is adequete, it will record with no problem. I hope this helps.

Piano is really tough, since they are way louder than you think.I would put headphones on and do a sound check to make sure the recording levels are where you want them.But yes, the unit will give you a good medium fidelity recording. I have some pretty good condensor mics that I attach to the zoom and the resulting audio is WAY better than the compressed audio on a video camera. If you have the external condensor mics you will get good high fidelity audio.

The sound is pretty typical of electronic violins. It is fine for practice. If used for performance, external amplification and tonal controls will be required and the quality of the sound will be dependent more on the quality of those devices than on this instrument. If he has a decent standard violin, he will be dissapointed in the dynamic range of this or any other electronic instrument.

I used it strictly for recording study lessons, and it worked well it is an excellent recorder. you may find what you're looking for at Tmart, and they're having a big sale right now on voice recorders/mp3.

It is a great little recorder for the money. I like that it has both reg. record and voice. I bought it for a ghost hunt, didn't pick up ghosts but did pick up conversations from the other people so I think it would be fine. Good luck. Patty

It is good enough for casual recording and youtube quality. If you want better quality, you need to consider Vado HD which is more expensive.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not looking for studio quality, but just good enough to re-enjoy concerts. I've been using a Sony MD recorder, which is remarkable as long as I keep the volume under control. I'd also use it for acoustic group demo/critical listening, so it'll probably do OK for that. If all else fails in the concert area, I can keep using the minidiscs.Thanks again,Jim

Absolutely yes. It is a low price for a very cool little thing. Unless of course, you are getting it for musical reasons...in which case I would recommend a more professional one. It plays well enough for a costume or just for fun, but not if you're serious about learning the instrument.

You may need a pre-amp especially for recording input...also check to make sure your microphone is or is not PHANTOM powered, otherwise you might have to get another in between the line input for that to get it to work. I just had to order one for my violin pick-up as most amps do not have a PHANTOM setting.

It will record anything but will the result satisfy your own higher expectations for music, that the recording sounds like the performance itself? I doubt that. You want to look into other solutions from Blue Microphones and others if you want optimum fidelity in a good acoustic environment, that you gladly present for others to hear.

I have not used this product to record as of yet. I used it to assist learning some choral music with previously recorded music that I transferred to SD. But now in curious and will test it out.

I use it to record home demos on my iPad using an inexpensive docking station. I also use it to practice melody line. I have never used it live. It is just a way for me to know I am off vocally and re-record.

It's not easy like a recorder. You need to practice a lot, but once you get used to it you'll like it.

I think so. the recording is clear and with the right setup in the room it has minimal noise. I've recorded teasers from some of my books with it and they sound fine

I guess the real question is what sort of recording are you doing and in what light. The sound quality on this unit is surprisingly good, and the video quality is good in most lights. I've used it to record orchestras in low light with good results. With the included SD card at medium quality you can record about 3 hours of video. My experience with the battery is that it will go about 2 hours on a full charge. If you're going to record more than 2 hours, bring both batteries and charge them both fully before you start. This unit will record off the AC as well, so you can remove the battery and use that, which will give you as much "battery" life as you need. Video recording quality is HD, so it is very good. Obviously, you can get better with a better camera (i.e., professional quality cameras starting from $800), but this camera has been surprisingly good on all levels and if you're submitting auditions or just want to see what you look like, this will not disappoint.
