I'm thinking of upgrading from the DR-40 to the DP-008EX. To date, I've had a lot of luck recording my music with the former (my Departure Street music available on Bandcamp), but would like to start overdubbing and mixing tracks. Here are my questions:
1. If I use the DP's internal mics, how does the recording quality compare with the DR's in X-Y position? Is using the internal mics option with the DP the same process as using those of the DR? (I want the recorder as stand-alone - I don't want to plug any inputs directly into it for recording, at least for the present).
2. My overdubbing question for the DR - Let's say I would like to record one guitar track on the SDMI card. Then I would like to overdub a piano track, but I need to hear the guitar track while I'm overdubbing. Is that possible, and if so, how?
3. Regarding the recording of separate tracks with the DP, a similar question as no. 2. If I record, say, my first track (guitar) and want to add a second track (piano), can I hear track 1 playing while I'm recording track 2? If so, how? And if the answer is 'no' to questions 2 & 3, is there an alternative solution?
Thanks.
