Will it work to record a band reahersal? I know it won't be studio quality but just to record and look for details to improve

I used this for recording in a lecture hall and truth be told my iPhone's built-in microphone did a better job. For what it's worth.

You can definitely use it for direct recording. I've used it on a couple of finished tracks with a couple of different instruments. You'll likely have some latency issues and will have to mess around with the settings, but every DAW I've tried it with has recognized it as an input source.

It's a mediocre microphone but it will work for instrumental recordings. You'll need to switch off your autofocus or it will pick it up in the recording. Lenses with internal focus are much better. And you can take it off camera and mount it on a tripod but you'll have to get an extension cable. If you want studio quality sound you'll have to spend more money.

Yes, you can still record some good tracks. However, not sure if you'll be able to get much color.

As far as sound quality goes, its awesome. The part where it lags is on on muliti track recording. I say this because you can't record seperate tracks individually like you can on a digital recorder. You can run 6 drum mics, guitar cab, bass, and vocals and whatever else in simultaneously and be fine but they are all going yo be down to left or right channels. You can go back and add overbubs with no problem but if you everything on its own channel so you can go back in and protools it, its not gonna be so easy. But for what I use it for it is an awesome unit and I highly recommend it for recording practices and shows. If you are trying to make a good HQ demo, get a tascam or something similar.

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 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.

Using it thru ipad and garage band u can use some enhancement, reverb, echo, or guitar model amps, then record it, as far as i know, mixer is not recommended in recording , mostly its used in live, in my own opinion.

My experience is that it is a great recording mic. It was not meant for live performances as the design is sensitive to movement hence the rubber suspension holding mechanism to reduce vibrations. Good Luck.

ive experimented with running my mic through my pedal board for recording and it seemed to work fine however I prefer to use the reverb settings from the recording program. I cant see why it wouldnt work live but like the other guy said, you would need to use 1/4'' cable for your microphone.

I think it will work, but it is not user friendly.You need to go through set up, choose the right screnn resolution and learn how to set up recording.

Hi,Its indeed useful and the features aare pretty handy. With minumal use of keys, you can navigate to the required menu.Quality of recording is good for band concerts and home recording.

I don't use it for recording music, but I don't know why not. It will be likely a different quality from CDs, but still records with good sound quality. Enjoy!

Well i like it i use it to record music and it sounds really good for the price you will not find another one like it. I hope this can help you

Yes, I have recorded PA systems before with this, the quality of the sound is degraded but it works.

You cannot record over an existing recording, but you can erase the file and record again. I'm not sure you'll be satisfied with this as a music recording system - you would be better served by buying a cheap USB studio mic ($25 or so) and recording on your computer.

Yes, I believe it will serve that purpose well. The quality is very good by my standards, and you will have multiple recording options from which to choose to enhance quality, depending on the recording situations. They call it "scenes".
