Hi,
I'm a court reporter from Puerto Rico. I go around lawyers offices and record depositions mostly. I'm looking to replace my standard cassetts recording system with a laptop plus an interface unit that can record a minimum of 4 diferent channels but would like to be capable of expanding to 6 when needed, looking at the Tascam USB 144 at this time.

Situation: 4 guys talking around a table with a small mono tape casette recorder on the table using the built in mic. This is a teacher-student conference.

Results: Two guys come out with adequate volume, two don't.

Goal: Get all four people recorded with adequate volume.

greetings

i used to have a little Sony walkman type cassette recorder with a built in mic...

just for the heck of it, and to keep some kind of lo-fi analog recorder option in my backpack, i want a cassette recorder that can power one of those little stereo electret condenser mics...

any suggestions please?

respect,

Hey all,

I'm new to the forum, hopefully this hasn't been discussed before.

I have been using an Aiwa FM-70 MiniDisc for field recordings and it seems to be on it's last legs.

1) Which is the best "pocket" flash recorder out there? CF/SD (not even sure there is an SD one)

Recently I almost bought the Yamaha AW 1600 Audio Workstation for recording my stuff ($1000). But 2 things happened:

1. I realized instead I want a 24-track system (not 16-tracks)
2. Someone told me it's cheaper to use my PC or laptop, than to buy a portable audio workstation.

I am new to sound recording and wanted a portable device to record family gatherings (storytelling), friends playing musical instruments and singing, children talking and various environments while travelling. I just received an Olympus WS310M digital recorder and ME51S microphone that I ordered from an online shop.

I want a decent portable recording rig. I don't want one of those all-in-one units. I definitely want to use a laptop (unless you can convince me otherwise). However, I really don't know which route to go. So, help me out... please.

Hey guys,

This is my first post on your fine forum. I must confess i only discovered it a few days ago but was impressed with the community here in terms of knowledge, but primarily in experience.

Im not sure eexactly which forum to put this post in (it seems to fit the bill for a few) - so mods, please move it if you think it belongs elsewhere.

Hi Guys,

I'm going to be living in India most of the time and will be setting up a recording / editing / production studio there. Coming back to the USA about 3 months of the year.

What are best PC laptops for recording/editing. I use Sonar.

iknow this is old question, but i cant seem to find the info i need in the archieves. I'm currently shopping for portable recorder either analog or digital under the price, if possible, $500. ive been using analog for the range such as nagra, marantz pmd, and consumer grade cassette tape recorders.
