Published on 09/25/11 at 06:23How long have you use it?
For a week I had the time to test it in several configurations: guitar-voice, electronic drums, before the electric guitar amp ...
What is so special that you like most and least?
Most is the sound. Nothing to do but before that, I recorded on dictaphone Sony, so we see a real difference (for a relatively small difference in price eventually). The settings are easy to make, everything is on the surface of the bug: input, output, bitrate ... No need to go rummaging in a menu.
Least, honestly, it's the details. As has been said, there is the problem that it is very sensitive to noise on its surface (like touching it during recording), and this is especially true since the input is strong. that is to say that we should not move when recording sound rather weak style of guitar tones. But hey, do not move again, it is feasible. on the other hand, what is more disturbing is that it records sound to each track start because of his rec button and the noise it made to support it. I tried to press gently, but it's still a noise on the track. it's a shame, I think they could have a lag of several seconds between the start of the recording and pressing the button ... but good.
I do not like too the names of files also: ZOOM0001 ... but such is the detail.
Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Uh, no. On this side, I am not a reference.
How would you rate the quality / price?
Very good, I paid 75euros on an auction site.
With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Altogether, with my experience a week ^ ^ In fact, with just the experience, I regret even buying a voice recorder last year, when I should buy it direct.
Otherwise, I did not buy the special package with tripod and all the stuff for a vingtaire euros, it seemed a bit too expensive for the number of truly useful purpose in the lot. But in fact, there is one useful thing is the windscreen. As is to save my home, I had not expected there to be wind, but in fact it is very sensitive to the slightest breath (which is quite logical), suddenly, it ends a little too close the microphone during a song, and bam saturation. So I bought a standard windshield (for micro size 40-50), and it will have a little better. However, it is better to learn to not breathe on it anyway.
The saturation indicator (red) is very useful too. With all the trimmings, you can really master what you do, and not have the horrible surprise to have recorded a great thing completely saturated or inaudible. Short, we can really make nice recordings. Besides, I was impressed with the recording line-in electronic drum, the sound is really good, better than the original headset.
