Things to Keep in Mind When Selecting the Best field recorders for musicians

What does a field recorder do?

What Is a Field Recorder? A field recorder is a device allowing you to record audio out “in the field” on your video shoot. These devices record audio independently of a camera. They can also mix multiple audio tracks from multiple on-set microphones, and some models can even act as a portable microphone.

Is it OK to leave a record on the turntable?

While that sounds convenient, what you don't know is that it can damage your vinyl record. Leaving your record out of its sleeve will or on the turntable will expose it to dirt and dust. It will also increase the risk of damaging the record's surface.

Are Tascam recorders good?

Recording Quality: Very Impressive Recording quality is excellent! I mainly used the Tascam with the Rode Smartlav+ Omnidirectional lavalier microphone. But I also tested the recorder with a condenser microphone.

How many times can you play a record before it wears out?

A well-cared for record can be played more than 100 times, with only minor audible sound degradation. If carefully maintained the same disc could be played many hundreds of times in its lifetime. A record played on poorly set-up equipment can be destroyed in just one spin.

Steve loves music. Steve Romanoski and his wife live in Alaska. They are always on the go, exploring new places and trying out new products (especially those which can help them enjoy the great musics even more). When he's not writing about products, Steve Romanoski enjoys reading books about history and science. He likes to think of himself as a renaissance man, but his wife would probably say that he's just a big kid at heart.
