Seeking recommendation for audio recorder

on: April 15, 2009, 09:18:10 PM

Can anyone recommend a simple, inexpensive digital recorder, preferably with an external microphone and no moving parts, to record my practice sessions? I'm only going to use it to listen to myself, so I don't need professional equipment, but to capture dynamics it must be better than the average voice recorder.

Edirol R09 or the Samsung Zoom H2 or H4. I keep hearing about those. About $300-400. Not professional but not garbage. Both have pros and cons but either one would probably do it. I think there are some ideas on here. Otherwise search for reviews. They don't have external mics, but without moving parts, there's no rumble of the machine. (except for hardware noise). I think you can connected external mics to both if you want, but only professional mics to the Samsung one.
