Recommendations: Need MD Recorder for Acoustic show

[Guest Anonymous]

The subject says it all. I'm going to an Acoustic show on Friday, in a relatively small club (1000 people).

I need to buy an MD recorder for it. What are some recommendations?

Any tips I should know about where I should record?

What kind of level should I set the recorder at?

Anything else I'm not thinking of?

Thanks!

Get a sharp recorder if you can - but you probably can't, at least not by Friday. In that case, get a Sony recorder with a mic in - the 707 was popular, now the 710 is the replacement, but you might see either in a store.

Learn to set the recording level. Unfortunately, with the Sony, you can't adjust while recording - you have to pause it. So make a good guess and adjust it if you need to.

Get an appropriate mic. As a last minute thing, you might have to go to Radio Shack - it still should sound good. I'd recommend a stereo omnidirectional mic. Cardoid mics require you to point the mic at the speakers, which is probably too much of a pain. Put the mic(s) somewhere where they won't get brustled against.

I've got a sony mzn707, and if I had to change my md, I think I won't buy this again...

I don't know for the 710, but the 707 hasn't any sensitivity switch... I recorded 2 shows with it , and the mini disc was overloading.

and...the first of the two shows was...an acoutic set . :?

so.... :!: :wink:

ps: you can change the recording level while recording with the mzn707...
