It's a bit like podcasting. You can do a decent podcast with a mic, a digital recorder and then an audio editor on a laptop. But I see folks building studios that may look great, but cost $$$$$ and are not needed, at least until they are well established.

Got this from a Goodwill online auction. At a loss to figure out what it does. Bluetooth in? USB? RCA loop outs? Been searching online and can find nothing! Just got it and it is obviously an MP3 recorder. But it looks for a specific folder named ????? before it can record to it and...

While I know my way around basic recording for radio, etc. I have never messed with devices used mostly by music people. So I am putting this in the newbie area, as in this case that is me. I found a nice, working black Fostex MR 8 with a 1 GB card, bag, etc. for less than 40 bucks and said...

I have a dual mic lavalier rig that ends in one plug...but it is the kind that works on iPhones, etc. I want to also use it on my standard digital recorders with a standard 3.5mm (?) mini plug..the one that looks like a small stereo earbud male plug. I keep finding plenty of the reverse...TO...

A while back I was asked to archive some wire recordings from the early 50's. Happily, someone in the 60's had made reel-to-reel copies, as it was tough to find a wire recorder and it only lasted aboout 10 minutes before some part failed! But I was surprised at how relatively good the sound...
