I am looking at purchasing a portable digital recorder, something with a built-in microphone... just for recording music ideas on-the-fly, mostly guitar riffs and such. Nothing fancy or professional. No multitracking or sampling or anything... just recording shit so I don't forget it and so I can I play it back for songwriting purposes. Something relatively cheap (definitely under $100).
Anyone have any recommendations?

I find my phone's voice memo feature to be sufficient.

A lot of women are using that mic for asmr like former amateur porn star Cherry Crush. Shit sounds good I get the tingles when she use that mic.
watch for a sec youtube.com
remember the headphones
>asmr like former amateur porn star Cherry Crush
holy shit... literally anything for an easy buck
That tascam in the OP is actually pretty solid. Records stuff to a microSD, no frills. It's shit in windy conditions, but for home-recording it's pretty good for an inexpensive device. Had mine for 4-5 years.
Thanks, but nah. I want a standalone device specifically for this purpose. I hate phones anyways.
get zoom then. but you are a money wasting faggot.
She's making a lot more doing the asmr ads.
Why are you so mad?
Go be an asshole somewhere else. There's loads of threads for that already.
...
Yeah. I am looking at that one right now. I was wondering if there was anything a bit cheaper, though.
Not if you want a decent mics no
Fuck, I have that tascam, it's great for recording sketches and small field recordings that I can run through pedals.
Last year I moved up to an 8 track pocketstudio for recording proper demos.
if you're not going to use external mics go with the zoom h1
>Anyone have any recommendations?
If you can't remember what you thought of the following day without recording it, it probably wasn't a worthwhile idea in the first place
Here.
I tend to use my phone more for sketches so that I can have something that I have on hand most of the time that I can check, it helps the most with riffs and sketches.
I use the Tascam more for field recordings and more fleshed out demo recordings that I want to use or play back, final recordings are done with an 8 track and mics.
Fair enough.
I really do like the fact that it uses microSD cards as well.
Cool. Thanks.
see
They make mics/recorder inputs for phones btw, much better than the internal mic.
this is such backward retarded bullshit
Why?
Holy fuck is this stupid
>Cool. Thanks.
They're like 150 bucks used. Only slightly more expensive than the handheld recorders, and you can use any external mic you want with them, and use them for mixing/mastering final tracks.
The other week I snuck it into a recording studio, wired some of their mics into it and did a few demos on guitar with high end mics.
How about the DP-006 or the DP-004? Any experience with those?
I don't really need 8 tracks... 4 would be plenty.
>why write down this antidote recipe, if i can't remember it my life was probably not worth saving anyway
>art is just a chemical formula
pls die
>How about the DP-006 or the DP-004? Any experience with those?
>I don't really need 8 tracks... 4 would be plenty.
They're good enough if you need them, I just picked the 8 track because I wanted to record full albums with it, but I've recorded albums with the handheld in the OP, it just takes more separate recordings and more work. You can wire regular dynamic mics into the handhelds and close mic amps and shit.
The 4 track is fairly cheap, and should do if you want to record guitar/vocals/bass/drums.
Imagine being this much of a douchebag.
Such a badass...
It has a recording app, and you can change your pitch/effects on it.
:)
I miss when she did actual porn, this is boring fetish shit.
Yeah. The 4 track is only $30 more than the DR-05.
It's looking good. At the top of my list right now.
Get a cassette recorder
He's probably more create than you are
I've been considering making an album using a Boss BR-600. What were your experiences making a semi-professional recording on a digital 8-track? How did you record everything? Any tips?
I'm sure he's a genius.
I am also sure that you are totally not him so you can suck his dick.
Idiot.
The best trick with them is that you can just export anything on it, and load it via USB, edit it with Audacity or any DAW, and send it back, and do the final mixes on it. With my last album I was constantly using it to multitrack with various mics and editing tracks and overdubbed parts and mastered the final tracks using it since Audacity itself is terrible for mastering.
These things are even small enough to fit in a bag with a pair of condenser mics and sneak anywhere, like a studio, and just pick any instrument you want and record with that while you have the time. It's great if you need to find a fucking piano to record with and don't have one at home.
at this point i'm not really concerned that you would writ- i'm sorry memorize anything interesting so just retard away i guess
Not an argument
How many songs have you published again?
Also nice ad hominem
Just stop.
If you had the mental capacity I would say you are embarrassing yourself.
>What were your experiences making a semi-professional recording on a digital 8-track? How did you record everything? Any tips?
I bought it in February along with a $50 dollar drum mic that's records drums and acoustic guitar well, but is mediocre for everything else, the other mic I use was a Seinnheiser dynamic mic that I've either used for vocals, or close mic'd guitar/bass.
For main tracks I used guitar and vocals with both mics, the dynamic mic on vocals wired through a compressor pedal and a stereo reverb pedal and split out with 1/2 single going into a PA, and the other direct in mic'd for vocals.
The other signal was wired via condenser mic acting as room mic at the end of the room via XLR input, and the two mics were mixed appropriately to double my vocals, additional, non-room guitar was dubbed over by close micing the amp and repeating the riff, then bass, then drums, and other effects and additional guitar where needed.
I did not get a fully "professional" sound, as parts of my recording I deliberately obfuscated, but I got a lo-fi dreamy sound that I was going for, due to the use of partially mixing the tracks with a mono layer.
lmao right back at you
How so?
If you had the mental capacity you could explain it. Did you get a little butthurt when I brought up your crutch?
About 80 or so.
So, how many have you published? Or are you going to avoid the question some more?
What are you even doing?
You're basically some toolbag listening to people having a discussion, and trying to regurgitate your epic memes to have some sort of interaction. Meanwhile everyone else just wants you to go away.
>mostly guitar riffs and such
kys
No one cares. Go away.
Just buy an ok mic and record yourself with something like Reaper.
One of my friends uses that, I've used it for mastering and it's okay at it.
oh i just meant the "nice ad hominem" bit
i think i made it pretty clear that idc
Yeah, I'm sure the expensive alternatives have more for pros, but I've used it myself for pretty basic recording and it works just fine.
>oh i just meant the "nice ad hominem" bit
Just following your cue.
Let me know when you have something interesting to contribute or can actually refute anything I've said
Didn't answer the question. Try again
Not an argument. Stop posting.
It's actually pretty good as a DAW, but I'm just past the point where I'd use it and would rather go with Logic/Pro Tools in a professional studio.
OP here.
Seriously, man. No one wants you in this thread.
Do you have any self-awareness?
we are trying to talk about something, and you are just being an asshole. You have nothing to add.
I know you think you are some kind of epic troll or something, but no one cares. No one wants to argue with you.
Just fuck off and try to start a fight somewhere else.
Can anyone recommend a relatively affordable mic for recording acoustic guitar? Somewhere around £300 or less? It seems like you can spend a hell of a lot on these things.
I have a Zoom H4n Pro. It's very versatile. Highly recommend them. They're not that cheap, tho.
If you're just using it as a memo device tho, yah, I'd just use your phone.
>You have nothing to add.
I literally did.
You do not need a recorder. You need to write better riffs. If they were good in the first place, you wouldn't need to record them to remember them.
Maybe this is advice you don't want to hear?
>If they were good in the first place, you wouldn't need to record them to remember them.
You are baiting pretty fucking hard right now, and I write riffs that I lose myself in.
oh heck
>when the shitpost goes too far
Do you seriously not understand the fact that no one wants to argue with you and why?
Don't answer that rhetorical question. Don't respond.
Just go away.
I'm sorry we're not all supergeniuses with eidetic memories, like you.
Jesus, man, everybody takes notes when composing.
Please stop engaging that asshole. I just want him to go away.
>something I don't like is just bait
We call this cognitive dissonance
>I write riffs that I lose myself in.
If that was true you'd be able to remember what you played, right?
Not an argument
>Do you seriously not understand the fact that no one wants to argue with you and why?
Then stop replying?
>I'm sorry we're not all supergeniuses
That's fine you can begin to train yourself now. If you stumble upon a riff you like, play it as much as you can, let it sit with you. Try to recall it the following day.
>Jesus, man, everybody takes notes when composing.
I'm literally paraphrasing Paul McCartney. Have you heard of him?
>please enable me
>If that was true you'd be able to remember what you played, right?
I do but I'm obsessive, I want to play everything the exact same way as when I first came up with it. There's a lot of riffs you throw out because they don't stick.
>I'm literally paraphrasing Paul McCartney. Have you heard of him?
lol Paul only wrote one good song, and it was one that he was obsessed with for ages.
>I want to play everything the exact same way as when I first came up with it
If it changes slightly because you remembered it, maybe it was meant to be? Consider it revision
>There's a lot of riffs you throw out because they don't stick.
Yes, exactly. Do you really want to play riffs for people that don't stick? If you yourself can't remember them, why would you expect other people to?
>Paul only wrote one good song
OK now you are b8ting.
Anyone know if ZOOMs plug into mixer tape outputs?
They can but be careful not match the impedance, otherwise the signal is too strong and your signal will be fried.
>not
*to
Yeah, I do this for remote recording sessions. Just turn the input level down to 1 or 2. I really need to get a couple Line-to-Mic converters to match everything properly, though.
