Basic Recorder
I bought the DP-02CF before, it got fried in the trunk of my car, and is now an expensive flashing device. I was pretty bummed.
So, I bought me
a DP-004, because even my laptop stopped working right (freakin' screen...).
I haven't recorded my band with it, but I have recorded myself singing the meow-mix song with the internal mics, which are accurate to a degree (they pick up way more bass than I thought they would). Not an unpleasant amount of bass, but definitely noticeable. They also have a pad on them, and can be set to pick up quiet noises, or with the "low" setting, something with higher SPL. I'm pretty sure if I set it right, I could record my afro-noise band without a compressor.
It has two microphone inputs (or one could be for your geetar, I suppose). I'm hurtin' to try out my SM-57's on it. Or my PZM.
I think it's a nice device - I haven't actually recorded my band with it yet, but the features are slim, and the device is quick 'n easy to set up. Browse the manual. It is almost the same procedure as recording with the DP-02CF. Arm a track and let'er rip.
Once I discovered all the ways you can set up the internal microphones and the external microphone jacks, it's basically a two-track recorder, and it's simple. Augument it with a mixing board, and you're working.
Simple, effective, and small. And it feels real nice too.
