what model is best for recording live music to go onto a c d

I have the WS-802, and I would not try to put recordings from it onto a CD.

I use the 802 for business and personal. Don't think it is good for much more than voice. The mic's (even the stereo plug-in microphone) would not be sufficient for professional quality recording of a live performance. Also, it depends on the distance. If you have it right next to an acoustic guitar, it would probably be ok to use to record practice sessions (my son did that). But if you are in the audience, forget it.

I am sorry but I don't have the answer for that but the recorder can be set to record at a very high bit rate up to 256kbps I think.

ken, i'm not quite sure if you want to use a handheld recorder for cd music.i'm a sound engineer and wouldn't dream of that. if you can get a direct feed from the engineer to a recorder that would be a lot better.you can mix in crowd noise and efx later,unless you use two recorders 1.for music,direct feed. 2.handheld for live bar noise to mix in. you will get noise from the mics from the band but not much. you can have the engineer set you up a mic just for the bar and mix it as it goes to recorder.he should know how to do this. but that's the tech way :-) [short answer]YES, IT CAN BE DONE. the 802 sounds good but it can be veeeery sensitive to touch or movement(causes noise) it is a wonderful recorder and battery last a looooong time. be sure to get a xtra sdcard, i got the 32gig. oh btw, it comes with a rechargeable aaa battery. and a line in plug :-) hope this helps you,sorry for being long winded. eric

I have used this to record a baby grand and an upright. The built-in mics are great at about a 5' distance. Additionally, you can plug in some other nice condenser mics and record with those as well for a total of FOUR tracks of piano! It's one of the best small, portable recorders, I've owned and I've been a recording engineer and sound for film engineer for 30 years. It's very sturdy and incredibly well-built. SOUND IS MAGNIFICENT.

I do not have the turntable set up for recording on my computer. I would think the system will be okay, but you will want some third party software to record with.

It really depends on how you want to use it. For a large venue you will need to hook it to your PA system's amp or mixer. For recording just hook into your recorder.

The rca inputs are the better choice. This would be the higher sampling rate for the recording input. The digital recording software will do the job of any cleanup necessary and mp3 compression.

For recording live music, I have used an external Zoom recorder which then fed the audio input of the GH3. Because the Zoom's levels were already hot, I had to turn down the sensitivity of the GH3 audio ins and also cut the output of the Zoom otherwise a nasty limiter effect from the GH3 would engage. With the GH3, be careful not to record too hot even with the on-board mics which are just OK. I also used a Stereo Video Mic Pro from Rode but did not use the +20 db setting as it would have been too hot. Bottom line, GH3 has plenty of it's own preamp gain so if using external mics, be careful of overloading your levels and turn down the GH3's sensitivity.

It's fine for me, good enough to record little demos on. But if you're looking for something that records studio-quality, you'll need to pony up for an LS-10, which records at 24/96 linear PCM.The sensitivity on the DS-30 is only adjustable in 3 settings, though, so if you're thinking about recording rock concerts, it'll probably still clip at the lowest sensitivity.

I use a recorder called Fire. There are several single and multitrack recorders in the App Store that work fine with the Mikey and 3GS, it just depends on your application. Google a couple of the apps and they have YouTube demos for multitrack recording of instruments and news capture and even field audio to support bad video camera audio.

I wouldn't use it for general purpose. LIVE is quite specifically intended for LIVE usage. For more standard recording, check out Samplitude Pro X2 (awesome, full featured, with recent price reduction); Sonar X4; or Studio One V3. All in the price range. Far better for standard audio recording, editing, mixing. (And Samplitude mastering and CD burning as well.)

It all depends on the software you use with it. It comes with a free version of Serrato that does not let you record your performance. You can update to the full version for a fee. I chose to purchase CrossDJ which has sampling ability and a LOT more.

I've used a Jam Man Solo with mine before. It has a looper built in as well that you can use. It'll record up to either 30 or 60 seconds of each take .

Absolutely!!! It's a great live Music recorder. You have the option also of reducing the sensitivity of the Mic for recording sounds in high decibel areas such as concerts , which helps in reducing distortion. In my opinion a collector's item .

I have an iPad Mini 2 and recorded a bunch of drum tracks recently - worked great and garage band was good software to use. It's been a great mic.

Not sure which would be better. My experience is with the 2100. What I can say is distortion of any kind has not been even an ounce of an issue. I actually like using it for recording guitar and vocals better than the lexicon alpha I was using.

This unit does not provide a headphone jack so you will have use different hardware. Some professionals will use a digital recorder which can give you the pass through audio to the dslr, a headphone jack, and a back up audio track of probably better quality. This is the way I would go. The azden is a great little mixer so you can use two or three mics at the same time. I used mine shooting a tv show to get the host and the guest on audio with the ability to set the balance.

I would opt for a digital music recorder like a Tascam DR-05. It has direct guitar cable inputs for electric too.
