CEB Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I would like a portable recorder to see what kind of mix the sound guys are creating. With a 2GB card about how many minutes of music do you something like this would hold? http://tascam.com/product/dr-05/specifications/ "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

Skinny Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Depends on the settings. WAV or MP3, bitrate, etc... I leave my DR-03 on 192kbps MP3, and I've got a bunch of shows, four approx 50 minute sets each, on the card. Hope this helps... Stuff and things.

CEB Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Thanks. I was concerned whether I could fit a single four hour gig on one card. Sounds like it would be no problem. Thanks again.

Phil W Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I used to get four hour gigs on one card (three hours music) but only on mp3 setting, not WAV http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABid Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Amazon had one of the Tascam models for $69 on their black friday deals. They were gone before I had a chance to order.

CEB Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Typical bar and club gigs around here are 4 hours. An example would be 8-12. We usually divide it up into 3 sets with a couple of breaks. "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

mul Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Sorry to got off topic on da last post.....think I went into shock. Our bass player uses a little tascam portable recorder to record our gigs. Cannot remember the model number but it has a 2 gig card, records in mp3 and is good for about 3 hours. He stops it during breaks and that allows us to skip tru the different sets without having to "fast forward" tru a show to skip boring or cringeworthy parts. It has two small condenser mics on da top pointed inward at 45 degrees. Fantastic sound out of it. He usually leaves it a his feet and the sound is equall to a nice live mix from the main mixer. Hope his is helpful Korg kronos, casio px5s, studiologic sl 88 studio, korg m50,korg triton, yamaha moxf6, hammond xk1, korg sp200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Dan Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I've got the Edirol recorder, and while I can't speak for other models, the built in mics are not suitable for capturing what it actually sounds like in the room. Usually a direct board mix is pretty good, but I've also brought out a condenser and preamp, which makes it much less "portable". I usually stop it during break, so you get 3 1-hr recordings in a 4hr gig. Dan Acoustic/Electric stringed instruments ranging from 4 to 230 strings, hammered, picked, fingered, slapped, and plucked. Analog and Digital Electronic instruments, reeds, and throat/mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil W Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I used to do 4 hour jazz gigs in Soho London - 10:30 - 2:30 am. The music was great but the pay didn't compensate for the late hours. We'd play three long hour-plus sets and a couple of breaks. I have a Zoom H4 which I love. H2 probably better for this purpose. http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
