fretwork Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I realize that everyone has their preferences, but here we go.... I need a device to record interviews (for school), band demos, and just to listen to at the gym. I've heard good things about the hi-md (besides some software glitches) but I also know there are some die hard ipod guys here too. Which is better for recording with the proper equipment? thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyther Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 iPod = no recording. Go MD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhangraman Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 iPod = voice quality recording. If you want anything more, consider the iRiver HDD machines as well as Hi-MD. Despite faults I can pick with the iRivers, they may be more flexible in everyday use than Hi-MD (with recording and extraction to PC in particular) and these days they're definitely priced to sell. The H-120/140 machines have the same sort of gadgetty appeal as Hi-MD although the design is less slick, does practically everything and allows you to move material freely on and off the machine. Recording quality is OK and it will support anything up to PCM (the same as Hi-MD), yet there are some less intuitive aspects of recording on the H series. The H series also have a built in mic so there's no need to dispair if you left your mic behind... you can at least make voice quality recordings this way. If I were you, I'd try and get some "in the hand recording time" of both Hi-MD and the iRiver H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPlitudeHD Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 i have to agree, the iRivers are probably the most competitive live recording units on the markets at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
