Compact, high-quality audio recorders

Just a quick post to link to two reviews: The new Edirol R-09, reviewed by Mark Nelson, Aug. 31, 2006, and its close competitor, the M-Audio MicroTrack, reviewed by Jeff Towne, December 2005.

Each of these can be found for about U.S. $400.

I’ve been using the M-Audio for a few months and am pretty happy with it. I’m curious about the new Edirol, though.

For my students, I have a bag full of Olympus WS-200S recorders, with a street price of about U.S. $100. We use Electro-Voice 635N/DB mics with them (about U.S. $130).

    If you have a new-ish, iPod (video or 5g) or iPod nano, one of the recording accessories now shipping for these present a much-lower-cost way to get started with this than one of the dedicated flash-memory-based recorders (described in the post).

    These new iPods and accessories are an improvement over the previous generations because Apple lifted a firmware limitation to recording quality with this devices. You were formerly limited to “dictation quality” (8 KHz) recording where you can now do “CD quality” (44 KHz) on the new devices.

    The accessories are available from Belkin, Griffin, and XtremeMac. The Belkin and XTremeMac are currently shipping and I saw them in stock in the Apple Store in Chicago last month.

    Based on reviews (see iLounge), I am leaning toward the Belkin because it’s the only one that provides a method for getting external power to the iPod while recording.

    I’m wondering how easy it is to get the audio FROM an iPod to a PC. Have you tried that, Craig?

    Thom, I haven’t seen it done myself since I don’t have one of these yet, but my understanding is that when you hook up the iPod to your computer, iTunes recognizes that you have made recordings on the iPod and offers to transfer them to the computer.

    The New York Times posted an article today on these devices, Some Hot Recorders for Those Cool Podcasts.
