I recently bought this relatively inexpensive recorder as an upgrade to the Olympus VN-4100PC voice recorder on which most of the material I've posted here is recorded. This is the first time I've used it, and it may not be the fairest representation of it for a few reasons: It mounts on a tripod, but without a tripod on this trip, I laid it on a table; the slightest bump or external irritation causes great noise and distortion, as you can hear in some places; it was recorded on the highest setting so there is some peaking; while there is a feature to record mp3 files of different quality, this I recorded as a WAV file, which I then converted after the easy transfer. All in all, there is a lot I'll have to learn about it, but this will give you some idea of it's sound.
This was recorded on the same Chickering in Colorado on which these improvisations were recorded with the Olympus:

https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php?topic=36657.0There were two fans which were running not far from the piano, and they can be heard. There was also a window open right by the recorder, so some pleasant wind and outdoor noises can be heard (BTW...It feels AMAZING in CO). There is also my 7 year old cousin, Sutton, who is heard talking to me at the end. I name this for him. The original recording was about 18 minutes long. The first half was heavily effected with noise, so you get the latter half.
All right...tell me what you think!
