I like to record from my portable PA (JBL EON210P) w/ RCA &amp; 1/4" output. Is this a good recorder or is there other better options?

It comes with an input, and it has EQ and effects. you could also record directly from your PA using an instrument cable. It is a great recorder for demos, especially for the price.

I use the R24 to record live shows all the time. I use "Y" connectors/ splitters to take the signal off ahead of my board (as I don't have direct outs from my mixer/amp). This approach also gives me the advantage of being completely independent of the trim levels on the board. You can either mix down from the board or (what I do), import the audio files into Audacity or Logic Express (or any other sound editor) and mix from there. Feel free to check out youtube: LimeyInSD for videos wherefor about 1 year I've used the R24 to record the audio for about 1 and sync'd the results up with video footage to get an idea. Alternatively wolfflive.com and drivineast.com will get you to the same videos (possibly more efficiently). Good luck!

This isn't what I thought it would be so I haven't used it much. BUT, when I plug a mic into the line in, it doesn't work. I've gone through it to see if I have to tell it to use the line in and from what I can tell, it should be using it but I can only get the onboard mics to pic up sound. I have a TASCAM GB10 for my guitar and that thing kicks ass. I thought this was going to be another version of that but there's no guitar input as stated.As far as capacity it's all up to how much space you load into it. You use SD cards so if you put in a 2GB, I highly doubt you're going to record a set. So just get as big of a card as possible. This isn't what I thought it would be so I haven't used it much.

I use my recorder with some Church Audio mics to a preamp and run it thru line-in. I get excellent results. Some people have asked where I bought the CD and are surprised when I show them on what it was recorded.

It really depends on what your intended uses are... The 280s are big, and most people would see them as somewhat impractical for portable use. That said, I use mine all the time when I'm out with my mp3 player.I will warn you though, if you have low-quality mp3s (anything under 192, really), the 280s will let you know very quickly that you need recordings encoded at higher bitrates. It's the double-edged sword of high-end audio equipment.

Yes. It should work with portable audio recorders just fine. You probably need an adapter though. Good luck with it.

Its not as good as a studio mic but magnitudes better than the phone mic. I would not trust it to get a live gig without input gain controls. Use good software to record with that has eq and gain controls. I use the paid version of Hi-Q MP3 rec for Android and its decent. Then run it through Audacity.

Look into the Focusrite Scarlett series. The pre-amps are great, and it puts out up to 24 bits/96 kHz. If you're going to be recording at home, make sure to get some basic treatment for better monitoring. Good luck:)

I've been using the m-audio fast track pro. Basically , this a good mic used primarily for overhead recording -- drums, pianos. But I've used it on vocals and guitar and it's good but only as good as ur pre amp. If ur interface doesn't have good preamps I would recommend buying an external one if ur serious about getting high fidelity recordings. Hope that helps

This should totally work for your needs. Ive had no problem at all with mine. I use it to record and play digital synth through a PA.

Steve, the recording quality was very bad and we ended up returning the unit. My older sister has an immense album collection we want to convert but we are still looking for a good quality converter and have yet to find one. This has been some years now since we started looking. good luckmc

I've used it to record audio directly from a DJ audio mixer. It worked perfectly and the sound was clear.

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!

Do yourself a favor and pop over to www.macworld.com and do a search for recording vinyl. I am sitting here right now with an Audio-Technica atpl50 hooked up to a Griffin iMic which is hooked up to my dual 2ghz G5 recording 45s for a neighbor. Griffin has software called Final Vinyl. Very easy to use, very intuitive!

I use Senn PC360 and have noticed a difference when gaming and recording with Audacity, escpecially in the analog mic input. Using lossless audio is where this card will really shine, so make sure your music library is encoded with ALAC or FLAC, and maybe try HD Tracks for some higher-than-CD quality music!

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

I record with protools, and Master with sound forge.. But I find myself recording almost everything I do live, with this.. Set the limiter to auto... Absolutely never clips or crackles.. then upload to computer and edit with a Mastering program.. All the Frequencies are there... It records great bass, mids, and trebles.. if you know how to eq and bring them out with plug ins.. I owned and used it for a year before I realized (not spreading the mics open / AB ) actually records better,, More similar tracks and easy to mix... I can rip down, chop, mix a complete band practice, and burn it on a CD in about an hour... Batteries Last Forever also... BEST VALUE HERE... I record with protools, and Master with sound forge..
