The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence.

Are you referring to equipment used to record yourself?

Some of these links are older but it will give you an idea of where to start:

***

Portable flash recorders have become used with more frequency in recent years. A few examples are the Zoom H4n and Edirol R-09hr. These house the mics, preamp, and recorder in one compact unit. Prices are coming down, and they give decent quality for what you pay.

As you become more versed in recording you may eventually wish to move up to individual components for a better sound.

As for software, Audacity is a good place to start. It is open source, and free.
