Since playing the Weber Y2K mandolin I had this tune running through me. It is similar to a tune I discovered when playing an Overtone Flute. So had this idea... how to record the Mandolin, Overtone Flute, Didgeridoo, and a rawhide drum into one MP3 file without having technical knowledge & a degree in engineering to perform such a feat.
Had recorded the mandolin version of one of the iterations on a GoPro HERO Session, which has really good microphone input, and the video is good too.
Cost is an issue, unfortunately. So was looking online and found something called a TASCAM.
When looking at the Amazon reviews, My God! How does one find a decent item without wading through all the garbage?
Problem with Amazon is there are people who get paid to promote items, and others who get paid to bring down the competition, and there is a lot of garbage out there. Seems the garbage comments want people to buy a ZOOM product - which the name makes me wonder, as the Tascam is made by TEAC which has a good reputation.
Yet it seems with each new product advancement there are a lot more bugs/issues too.
Throughout the process of wading through Amazon's garbage, found a few comments relating to the TASCAM DR-07MKII, which is an older version, and the person stated they had theirs for 4 years and still works.
So the simple idea was to record a few sessions into one, which is going to be a learning process. And the Tascam seems like a good idea since it has the hardware, the ability to record where-ever, although is limited to 4 tracks. Anything over 4 tracks starts costing some serious bucks.
Might be good for recording jam music and church/gospel jams for one's own use or to share with others ... and allow me to listen to where i need to improve and to see whether or not the playing off the beat is working & what it sounds like when it is or is not working.
So this would be a useful tool.
Is there a more simpler way of recording stuff for one's own prosperity? Is there a better device out there? And no, I do not have an Apple device. Former pastor friend suggested GarageBand and to buy decent microphones, but would need an Apple product which s going to exceed to the value of the idea altogether.
