[Dixielandjazz] Re ''Recording direct from sound system"

[Bruce Stangeland]

Phil and Ross,

I just bought a digital audio recorder, the ZOOM H2 
<http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2007/09/13/review-zoom-h2-surround-recorder.html>, 
which can record 4-tracks of audio at sampling rates up up to 24bit 
96kHz. It contains 4 condensor microphones, two pointing forward and two 
backward. You can set it in the middle of a band or jam session and let 
it run. I did that at a rehearsal on Monday and am pleased with the 
results. On Sunday I set it in the pew next to me and let it run in 
2-track mode. It captured the music and sermon very clearly.

The two AA batteries have lasted over 3 hours so far. The 4 GB SD card 
that I bought will hold about 3 hours of 4-track audio at the highest 
fidelity setting.

It sells for US$200 
<http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/480163-REG/Zoom_H2_H2_Ultra_Portable_Digital.html>., 
and is slightly larger than a pack of cigarettes (much smaller than a 
computer).

Cheers,
Bruce Stangeland

Have you ever thought of recording directly to the hard drive of a computer (laptop?).
If you want stereo you would have to make sure the computer has stereo input (line in).
If you want to talk more with me feel free .

Phil OR


  Please can anyone help ??
  I want to know if I can buy a CD recorder that I can plug direct into our PA deck (8track Berhinger EURORACK MX2004A) ???
